Condition: new. Pages: 120 Karsten er en måpende guttunge i en vanlig norsk familie med legefar, laerermor og en lillesoster med bleierompe. Karsten går inn i stort og smått med lik intensitet - enten han holder et miniforedrag om steinens historie eller skjaerer ut innvoller av fiskens buk til familiens tirsdagsmiddag. Naboguttene ruller kampestein i den bratte roysa, peker fingre mot Karsten som pistoler og sender ham trusselbrev. Karsten selv mener selv at han står midt i en mordgåte - at en mannekeng nylig er blitt drept - og han påtar seg rollen som etterforsker. En dag kommer faren til Karsten og ber ham si farvel til barndomshjemmet. Faren har pakket en bag og sier at de to skal reise bort. Alt blir satt i bevegelse.
