“You’ve got to help me,” Marisol cried. “My brother is innocent!”

With those words, the North Hollywood Detective Club officially begins as teen super-sleuths Jeffrey Jones and Pablo Reyes set out to prove the innocence of Marisol’s brother and rescue him from jail. Their search for a stolen painting leads them to a mysterious pawn shop, a glamorous television star, and a 20-year-old unsolved murder!

This is the first book in a new teen and middle grade mystery series, starring a pair of 14-year-old boys who start their own detective club. If you’re the type who loves origin stories, then this is the book for you. (When I was a kid reading comic books, I always wanted to read the origin stories of all my favorite super heroes! And it was the same when I began reading mystery books for boys, I always wanted to know how each series began.)

When their teacher’s apartment is broken into and the police can’t solve the crime, Jeffrey and Pablo take up the challenge! Can you solve the story’s first mystery before our young detectives do?

A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

If you’re looking for a fun easy-to-read mystery thriller you’ve come to the right place. I designed these books for boys, teens, young adults, and sleuths of all ages. It’s not easy finding good books for boys (or books for girls) – I know, because I’m constantly searching. It’s especially hard finding books for boys who don’t like to read. So I wrote my own. I hope you enjoy reading these stories as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Book Two in this mystery and suspense series for young readers – “The Case of the Dead Man’s Treasure” – is now available on Amazon. This second book explores the characters more in depth as they race to find a valuable treasure before a killer gets his hands on it. It continues the unique blend of mystery, suspense, and humor that these books contain.

Book Three in this series The Case of the Christmas Counterfeiters is due in summer 2018. It’s the most action-packed book in the series.
