When Dan Tayler's economics class visits the Statue of Liberty, the young detective stumbles upon a gruesome discovery: a scientist's body in the torch with a mysterious throat wound—but no weapon, no fingerprints, and no clear way the killer could have reached the spot during a locked-down island. As Dan pieces together clues from the morgue to newspaper headlines, he identifies the victim as Dr. Albert Kenton, a jet expert, and uncovers a sinister connection to smugglers aboard a docked freighter. With Sgt. Gargon at his side, Dan must unravel why these criminals wanted the scientist dead before they silence him for good.
