But now Max and Maddy are ready to pick up where their parents left off. When a Swiss businessman asks for their help in catching a bank robber, Max and Maddy can't wait to take on the case. But little do they expect to find themselves hot on the trail of a gang of thieving St. Bernards Bestselling novelist Alexander McCall Smith introduces readers to a delightfully funny new set of heroes--and the tricky villain who's always keeping them on their toes.

Entertaining introduction to mysteries

Max and Maddy have learned detective skills from their parents and by playing the game Clue. They use these problem-solving skills to help a Swiss banker find robbers who have been using dogs to do their deeds. The writing is as witty and sharp as McCall Smith's books written for adults.
