Synopsis

...I was kicking these thoughts around in my head and thinking glumly that I'd have to go back to train spotting when she walked in. She was at least fifteen and she moved like she knew it. She was tall but not as tall as me. She was wearing jeans, Nikes and a cut-off top that showed her stomach. She had long hair, dark brown eyes and no visible acne. I was prepared to listen to her all day. Mickey Sharp, teenage detective, is on the case! This appealingly laconic hero is determined to solve the case given to him by Madeleine, the beautiful girl, even though it means cutting classes, bunking off detentions and running the gauntlet of a playground fight to do it. Serious issues of bullying and unemployment are the background to a brilliantly funny and fast-moving plot, told in a slick Chandler-esque style.
