When Sherlock Bones, the world’s greatest dog detective, and his partner Dr Jane Catson set out to thwart a band of art thieves, they have a secret card up their sleeve: the Great Otto, cat magician extraordinaire!
They catch Otto’s show in Berlin before boarding the sleeper train to Paris and Catson is sure the magician is on the train with them. But there’s no sign of him the next day. The mystery deepens and a story of kidnap, theft and prison breakout follows, much of it enlivened even further when the two find Otto and make use of his magician know-how.
It’s another cleverly written mystery story in a very engaging series, comical crime with a great cast of animal characters. As an added treat, there are puzzles and brain teasers throughout so that readers can test their own powers of observation and deduction.
Sherlock Bones, the world's greatest dog detective, and his trusty sidekick Dr Jane Catson are back for another crime-solving adventure.
