Alexander McCall Smith-best-selling author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency-enthralls children with his Akimbo adventures, Harriet Bean mysteries, and Max & Maddy detective tales.

Swiss banker Conrad Huffendorf hires Max and Maddy Twist-world Clue champions and children of private detective legends-to stop a rash of bank robberies. Bank security cameras show each holdup being carried out by a different Saint Bernard. But how can the young detectives find these dogs and capture their evil trainer?
