I'm Rani Ramgoolam - roving reporter. And I think I've found the perfect story for the junior journalism competition run by the local paper. An eccentric millionaire has created a treasure hunt with a reward for the first person who figures out the clues.
Luckily, my mischievous Nani is visiting from Mauritius. She's promised to help me work out what a priceless painting, a minotaur and a glass eye have in common.
"Murder, murder! Call the cops!" Oh, and that's Cookie, my parrot. I'm not sure he'll be much use.
But the race is on and I'll need all the help I can get. Especially when some people are resorting to sneaky tricks to get their hands on the prize…
