Description: It features a young boy (14 years old) who is a messenger. While on a job he becomes involved albeit unwittingly in two criminals. When questioned by the authorities he ends up cooperating. Then he's kidnapped!After a series of adventures that reminded me of some of the exploits from Horatio Alger stories, the mystery was solved. It involves murder, funny money (counterfeiting) and a traveling show. To me, the book felt like three of so Alger stories combined into one -- lots of Adventure but not a lot of substance.Features detectives, bad-guys, railroads, Americana, printing presses (funny money) and more. And Messenger No. 48 is mostly about the boy who ferrets out the criminals. Guns too -- the 14-year old is considered responsible and indeed is so! I don't recall any references to prayers or religion. Nobody diesBK181
