Description
What if Jesus Christ, Adolph Hitler, and Muhammad grew up together as kids in a small town in Idaho? And what would happen if they decided to open their own detective agency in Adolph’s garage?
Follow the adventures of three anachronistic young sleuths as they solve crimes in their hometown of Crystal Falls, and see if you can solve them first! Each story is set up to allow readers to crack the case along with the detectives (or, if they get stuck, to peek at the answers in the back). From tracking down stolen flowers to catching a violent murderer, these boys are on the case!
Can you solve these cases before the Crystal Falls Detective Club?
The Case of the Purloined Poinsettias
There's a crisis in the Hitler household! Young Adolph’s mother woke up to find her prize poinsettias missing, and the city flower show is just around the corner. With the police stumped, can Crystal Falls' brightest minds solve the case before it's too late?
The Case of the Sloppy Signature
The Case of the Dashing Diner
There's nothing better than a warm slice of pie at Mr. Goldstein’s corner store, especially for three young detectives fresh off their first real case. But when someone tries to run off without paying their tab, it's up to the Crystal Falls Detective Club to make sure they've got the right man. It's a case they can really sink their teeth into!
The Case of the Super Student
The Case of the Roaming Rapist
A detective has come all the way from New York City to ask the boys for help. A violent, sadistic rapist has been terrorizing the boroughs, and now he might be in Crystal Falls! When the crime hits close to home for one of the boys, the case becomes very personal. Can they catch the Riverside Rapist before he strikes again?
The Case of the Fortunate Fisherman
A newcomer claims to have beaten the fishing record at Lake Ellis, but is he really eligible to claim the $200 prize? The sleuths think there might be something fishy about his story. Will they be able to catch him in a lie, or just take the bait?
The Case of the Brazen Bully
Lefty has turned over a new leaf… or has he? For a small fee, he’s offering to protect the kids in town from bullies. But the detectives suspect that those kids might not be getting what they paid for. They’ll have to confront Lefty, and they’ll need to be ready for anything!
The Case of the Salty Surprise
Someone has sabotaged the ingredients in the school cafeteria, and right before cake day! The evidence points to one student, but the detectives suspect that everything might not be quite as it appears. Can they help the cook turn a salty surprise into a sweet reward?
The Case of the Baffled Bureaucrat
A neighborhood girl is being watched, and the perpetrator may be closer than she thinks. In fact, he just might be inside her home! While undercover, Adolph searches for a final solution in a world that’s more dangerous than he could have imagined. And as for the victim, she seems to have some secrets of her own.
The Case of the Expert Egghead
You don’t get to be the champion egg-spinner of Crystal Falls without breaking a few eggs. But when Stephanie breaks one during a match, she ends up making a deal that could spell disaster. Are the tree hard-boiled detectives a match for ace attorney Albert Swindle?
The Case of the Western Window
Lefty’s back, and as usual he’s up to no good! He’s framed Muhammad for a crime he didn’t commit, and now the police are coming after the young detective. Can he clear his name before it’s too late?
