Agaton Sax faces one of the most challenging cases of his career
when a secretive and evil mastermind steals Scotland Yard's Register of
Current Criminals from under the very nose of Inspector Joshua
Lispington. To get it back, Agaton will need to employ his considerable
skill and intellect, as well as overcome fake detectives, masked men,
incompetent sailors and a rogue pirate ship.
It's just another day in the exciting life of Agaton Sax, Sweden's
finest and most inventive detective...
The Agaton Sax series of books were first published in Sweden, later
being translated into English and printed with illustrations by
much-loved artist Quentin Blake (perhaps best known for his work on the
books of Roald Dahl). The English translations became immensely popular,
achieving the status of the most re-issued mystery & detective series in
the history of Nordic children's literature.
Now, after many years out of print, Oak Tree Books is proud to publish
the entire Agaton Sax series, newly translated and illustrated for the
next generation. This new collection includes the eleventh book which
has never before been released in English.
