Despite the minor irritations of arguing parents, Maths homework and having to infiltrate a school for which he has the wrong uniform, Mickey sets out to solve the case...

From the Back Cover

PRIVATE EYE SEEKS CASES

Mickey Sharp may be only fourteen but he's got an office (all right, a shed), a chair (all right, a box) and a powerful vehicle (all right, a dodgy bike). All he needs now is a case.

Enter Madeleine Stone. She's at least fifteen and she moves like she knows it. Mickey would be prepared to listen to her all day. Madeleine suspects her brother is being bullied at school and she wants Mickey to sort it out.
