Lori wants to be a detective, but so far the most exciting mystery she has solved is the disappearance of her nan's specs down the side of the sofa. Max is the new girl at school and Lori is asked to look after her. Max is odd. She doesn't fit in - but then, Lori realises, she doesn't really fit in either.

Eamonn Lynch stares at the letter announcing his father's imminent arrival. His first thought: I'll make an excuse, I'll put him off. But it's too late. Laura has left, and Dermot is already here, a fresh arrival from Ireland to southern Spain. Now it's just the two of them, father and son, for two long, hot weeks.

A stolen phone and an unruly dog; a buried lunchbox and an antique children's book. Young detectives Lori and Max must dig through layers of lies to solve two mysteries.

This book is essential reading for Joyceans, Irish modernists, and Anglophone modernists, and also for scholars of transnational modernism, of comparative European literatures, of the life of the sensorium, and of culture and capitalism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
