Named one of "13 Detective Book Series You Obsessed Over as a Kid" by
Buzzfeed and the inspiration for a hit Disney film, the masterful
Great Mouse Detective is back and scurrying off to Paris to discover
who's threatening the organizers of the Great Cheese Cook-off!
Basil the mouse detective is called to Paris when the organizers of the
Great Cheese Cook-off (an international culinary competition) start
receiving threats against the event. Who could want to deprive all of
mousedom of one of its tastiest nights?
Basil immediately suspects Ratigan, who has escaped yet again and was
seen lurking around Paris (and who, perhaps, holds a particular grudge
against the event's organizers). He sets off on his investigation at the
event's location, the Parisian College of Cooking (where local foodie
mice hide out and take advantage of the school's kitchens after the
human students have departed each evening). But Basil is baffled when
circumstantial evidence shows that it couldn't have been his old enemy
after all.
With one suspect crossed off the list, it's up to Basil to find out
what's going on--before those anonymouse threats ruin the
Cook-Off--for good!
