The disappearance of a valuable artifact, and an unexpected appearance by 'Half' Moon in the school play just another ordinary day in the life of the schoolboy private investigator.
Red's brother Herod is in trouble again and this time he could be headed into care. Another tricky investigation for 'Half' Moon as the school's zero tolerance on misbehaviour starts to bite.
Half Moon and his investigating partner, former bad boy, Red Sharkey try to discover who is behind a particularly nasty and personal smear campaign in the school.
