About the book
In the tradition of Nancy Drew, four kids and one grandfather in Miami tackle a decades-old mystery in this first book full of ‘atmosphere, history, and lively humor’ (Publishers Weekly, starred review) in the Sherlock Society middle grade series from New York Times bestselling, Edgar Award–winning author James Ponti!
Siblings Alex and Zoe Sherlock decided to use their last name as inspiration for their summer job. They figured that starting a detective agency would be more exciting than babysitting, lawn mowing, or cleaning out the attic. Their friends Lina, who loves books, and Yadi, who dreams of being a cinematographer, decided to join in. Alex and Zoe's grandfather, a retired reporter, even offered them his aquamarine Cadillac convertible and storage unit full of cold cases.
The group's first case involves searching for a long-lost treasure rumored to be hidden near their hometown of Miami. As they delve into the local history related to the infamous gangster Al Capone, they uncover clues that point to possible corporate corruption on a remote island in the Everglades.
With the expertise of their grandfather and the intelligence of the kids, along with some cool gadgets, will the Sherlock Society be able to uncover the conspiracy?
