Publisher's Synopsis

'Top-grade misbehaviour' - THE GUARDIAN

THE DETENTION DETECTIVES ARE BACK! And there's been another murder...

Headstrong LYDIA leads the new case. As a school reporter, she's great at getting the facts. But when someone unexpected arrives at Gran's, it's clear she's missing some clues…

Sensitive DANIEL is convinced this case is linked to their first. As a young carer he's got a lot on his plate, so he needs the trio to work on this together. He just needs to persuade…

Not-so-new-boy JONNO, who's settled in at Hanbridge High. But he's so distracted by his new band - maybe solving crimes just isn't cool anymore? Or maybe he's scared of finding out the truth…

Can you solve the case before THE DETENTION DETECTIVES?
