Usually I’m brilliant at forgetting, so why couldn’t I forget that particular episode? Let’s drop the whole subject. What to remember is that riding shotgun in the Porsche just happens to be my favorite thing in the whole world. Our ride’s been a Porsche ever since the start of the Little Detective Agency, which had to be when I joined up, unless I was missing something.” Loyal, brave, and fearless, Chet (the canine companion to private investigator Bernie Little) doesn’t miss much, even if he can’t always remember what it is that he knows. In the eighth book in this bestselling, beloved mystery series, Bernie and Chet return home from a long road trip to find themselves in an unusually prickly situation. First, Bernie’s wall safe—normally hidden behind the waterfall picture in the office—is gone, and with it Bernie’s grandfather’s watch, their most valuable possession. And next door, old Mr. Parsons is under investigation for being in possession of a saguaro cactus illegally transplanted from the desert.
