Description:
"Detective work is very difficult—but very exciting. A good detective must be patient,
watchful, and well-trained. He must know how to build the whole story of a crime from tiny
clues. Yet he must be ready to spring into action at any time—to outrun and outwit even
the craftiest criminal.
This is what this book is all about. It shows you the special skills detectives use, like
identifying fingerprints, examining witnesses, and reading clues. It tells you what
information you need in order to act fast in emergencies.
There are games, puzzles, and training courses to help you practice. And there are lots of
stories about the tricks crooks play—so that you will be prepared for them when you
meet them!".
Hilarious, full-colour illustrations throughout.
