By Charley Rabbit

One evening, way past your bedtime, all was quiet in the city of Bath. Fabio Fangtooth was finishing his alphabet soup. When suddenly . . . Whoomp! . . . he disappeared.

As soon as he leaves the house, he is mobbed by admirers, as usual. But just as he starts to sniff out his first mystery, everything seems to go wrong: his detective bag is stolen, he is knocked off his feet and his monocle shatters. It appears that not everyone is happy to have the world-famous detective in their city . . . With the help of new friends, can Monsieur Mustard crack the case before the villain catches him?
