Chet Gecko loves a good mystery. Almost more than he loves his
fee--stinkbug pie.
So when fellow fourth grader Shirley Chameleon asks him to find her
missing brother, Billy, Chet expects the case to be as easy a pie. But
Billy's disappearance is part of a larger plot, one that involves the
Rat Sisters, a riddling junkyard dog, and a vicious Gila monster named
Herman.
If Chet doesn't solve the case fast, the entire school could be
humiliated. Worst of all, Chet might not get his fee. And Chet's hungry.
