Publisher's Synopsis
A crime wave is sweeping across Tillie Pea and Lillie Pea's normally peaceful vegetable garden. Broccoli Bob can't go fishing because someone stole his fishing pole, and poor String Bean Sally lost her ball to the crook. Worst of all, the thief made off with Grandma's glasses and tea cup. Someone, it seems, chooses to ignore a very simple rule: don't take other people's things.
Tillie and Lillie have had enough. Declaring that the T & L Detective Agency never gives up until the case is solved, the two peas pocket their magnifying glasses, hop onto their red trikes, and pedal off in search of clues.
Some dedicated detective work, a little luck, and Tillie's growling stomach leads the junior sleuths to the criminal's hideout. Will he admit his guilt? Is he going to come quietly, or will he resist arrest? Tillie and Lillie aren't sure, but they know one thing: the T & L Detective Agency always gets its man. Or vegetable. Or even rat.
