In the tradition of Nancy Drew, four kids and one grandfather in Miami tackle a decades-old mystery in this first book full of โatmosphere, history, and lively humorโ (Publishers Weekly, starred review) in the Sherlock Society middle grade series from New York Times bestselling, Edgar Awardโwinning author James Ponti!
Siblings Alex and Zoe Sherlock take their last name as inspiration when choosing a summer job. After all, starting a detective agency has to be better than babysitting (boring), lawn mowing (sweaty), or cleaning out the attic (boring and sweaty). Their friends Lina, an avid bookworm, and Yadi, an aspiring cinematographer, join the enterprise, and Alex and Zoeโs retired reporter grandfather offers up his sweet aquamarine Cadillac convertible and storage unit full of cold cases.
The groupโs first target is the long-lost treasure supposedly hidden near their hometown Miami. Their investigation into the local doings of famed gangster Al Capone leads them to a remote island in the middle of the Everglades where they find alarming evidence hinting at corporate corruption.
Together with Grandpaโs know-how and the kidsโ intelligenceโplus some really slick gadgetsโcan the Sherlock Society root out the conspiracy?
