It tells the story of Sally and Andrew, who are also amateur teen detectives （青少年业余侦探）. They are also known as
“The Shockoe Slip Gang” a name given to them by reporters after their last successful case.

① They are excited to return to their cousin Anne’s farm in Virginia this summer. Mostly they are looking forward to camping out in the largely unexplored Swamp near the farm with their friend Robin.   ② Sally and Andrew respect Robin because he and his parents live in the swamp, and he knows how to keep alive in the great outdoors. The three friends are even more excited to explore the swamp when hearing of a recent ghost sighting.   ③ Robin even says he has caught sight of the creature, which he says is actually a beautiful red-gold horse! But before leaving for the camping trip. Anne warns Sally, Andrew and Robin about the possibility of swamp fires, which are dangerous but also attractive.   ④ The Native Americans who used to live in the area believed that “a swamp fire was a special kind of fire, and meant something special was going to happen.”

From fighting off bears to facing snakes, Sally, Andrew and Robin have plenty of challenges during this adventure. Will their skills, bravery and friendship be enough to leave the swamp alive?
