Real blackmailers target Clouse! The only thing the poor guy did was to peek (very little, just for a moment) at his neighbor's sheet in the last math test... But at that moment they photographed him – what am I saying, they made a whole movie. And now the blackmailers have cornered him and demand that he never take on a case again! A detective cannot accept this. It's impossible! If he stops working, who will solve his cases? But Clouse soon realizes that finding clues is much more difficult when the detective himself has guilty secrets that he wants to keep hidden at all costs. A detective series for young readers, featuring a nine-year-old boy who has nothing to envy from the heroes of classic detective novels.
