Inky Stevens the Great School Detective: The Case of the Caretaker's Keys

The must-read whodunit for all those at High School, and all those who’ve managed to survive it! ‘Inky Stevens the Great School Detective’ is a comic mystery that’ll keep you guessing… right to the bitter end.

Fourth-year student Inky Stevens is viewed as an outcast at Blinkton Comprehensive School. Gothic in appearance, he doesn’t look like other students. He doesn’t talk like other students either. Inky measures his words carefully, only speaking when there’s something to be said. Yet the reclusive teenager has a special talent, the knowledge of which has travelled throughout the school in whispers. It’s his ability to solve puzzling mysteries that sets him apart. When any member of Blinkton School is in genuine difficulty, Inky’s there to help. In most cases, he’s the only person who can help. And, working undercover, he’s tenacious and ruthless. Asking for nothing more than a token of appreciation, it’s Inky’s steely determination which has earned him the title of, ‘Great School Detective’.

In ‘the Case of the Caretaker’s Keys’ it’s Blinkton’s caretaker, Frederick Varley, who calls for Inky’s assistance. Fred’s school-keys have been stolen. The desperate old man has just two days to find them before his weekly meeting with Blinkton’s fearsome Headmistress (the Snake). Yet with so many areas unlocked, and the culprit still at large, Blinkton School lies vulnerable and exposed.
Fred is able to identify four possible suspects to the dreadful crime…
Spud Barton, Blinkton’s shaven-headed bully
Candy Sugarcane, the empty-headed glamour-puss
Crispin Merridew, the second-year brainbox who still wears short trousers, and
Mr Wilfred Whitkirk, the immaculately dressed Science-technician.

For Inky the clock is ticking. His most dangerous case takes him deep undercover… towards a shocking, sinister conclusion. For Inky Stevens, a storm is brewing…!
