A curious young detective, a notorious criminal family and a pretty girl. It all adds up to just one thing…trouble. With a Capital T.

Fletcher Moon is the newest detective in town and he’s involved in the biggest case of his life. Aged only twelve he’s already got an excellent track record of solving cases. It’s this success which encourages him to seek more challenging assignments.
