The inspiration for a hit Disney film and named one of "13 Detective
Book Series You Obsessed Over as a Kid" by BuzzFeed, the masterful
Great Mouse Detective is back and ready to investigate a library
haunting!
Basil of Baker's Street, the masterful mouse detective who studied under
Sherlock Holmes, is on his way to a school reunion with his old friends
from Ratcliffe College. Along for the trip is his steadfast companion,
Doctor Dawson. But all is not well, as they soon learn that the
dastardly Ratigan has escaped from prison in London. Could the rat
possibly be planning revenge against his old nemesis, Basil himself?
But before Basil and Dawson can worry too much about the wily rat, they
hear another piece of worrying news. The duo arrives in Oxford only to
be informed that the library of Basil's old college is haunted! The
students are thoroughly spooked, and the whole mess threatens to sour
the festive mood of the reunion. Basil, for one, doesn't believe in the
supernatural and plans to put the rumors to rest.
But the strange occurrences continue, without any obvious explanation.
Is this one case that can stump even the Great Mouse Detective? And as
Basil and Dawson dig deeper, are there even more sinister secrets afoot?
