"Thirteen-year-old Duncan lives with his unconventional bohemian aunt. She's determined to give him an expensive private education, even though Duncan isn't particularly interested in school. He wants to be a detective like the ones in the World's Best 100 Detective Stories, which he reads when he should be studying. As Duncan says: "In the beginning, it was simple: I wanted to be a detective, and I needed something to detect..." Fortunately for Duncan, he gets something to detect in the first chapter of this funny crime mystery. Full of twists and turns, laugh-out-loud adventure, and even a cobra and an alligator, this highly entertaining story will have readers wondering if they've solved the mystery (and most likely they haven't) until the last page turn."--Provided by publisher.
