"You've got to help me," Marisol cried. "My brother is innocent!"

Jeffrey Jones is a kid with a problem. A lot of problems.

He's laughed at in school.

The neighborhood bully has it out for him.

And his parents treat him like a six-year-old.

However, Jeffrey does have one ace up his sleeve: He's a master investigator.

When the brother of a classmate is arrested for stealing a valuable painting, Jeffrey and his best friend, Pablo Reyes, form The North Hollywood Detective Club and set out to rescue him from jail. Their investigation leads them to a mysterious tattoo parlor, a glamorous television star, and a 20-year-old unsolved murder!

Move over, Sherlock Holmes, there's a new sheriff in town.

A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

This is the first book in a new mystery series starring teen super-sleuths Jeffrey Jones and Pablo Reyes. If you're the type who loves origin stories, then this book is 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 started reading mystery books for boys.)

If you're looking for a fun, easy-to-read mystery book with a twist, or if you're like me and always on the lookout for the best mystery and adventure books for boys, teens, young adults, and sleuths of all ages, then you've come to the right place. As an added bonus, when you opt for the printed paperback version of this book, you also get the ebook - the kindle version - for free. I highly recommend this.

The first mystery book I read was a decades-old Nancy Drew book that I found in the school library back in the 4th or 5th grade. It wasn't the best mystery book, but it got me hooked. Since then, I've been a fan of mysteries, thrillers, and detective stories. Whether they are written specifically as books for boys is irrelevant. All I want is a good book.

Book Two in this series of mystery and adventure books - "The Case of the Dead Man's Treasure" - is now available on Amazon.

Book Three - "The Case of the Christmas Counterfeiters" - will be out in mid-2018.

Book Four - "The Mystery of the Missing Valentine" - will be out in 2019.
