Soon, his relaxing trip becomes complicated when he discovers a money-laundering scheme involving the Pike family, who smuggle dirty money to the other side of the lake. The Pike family members remain silent as fish when caught, and no one can figure out where they’re hiding the cash. Will Detecticat crack the case?
- Engaging detective stories for early readers, featuring small, humorous mysteries that captivate children’s curiosity and encourage independent reading.
