However, what Fletcher lacks in height he makes up for in brains, because Fletcher Moon is the youngest qualified private detective in the world. To achieve this extraordinary feat, Fletcher changed his age on his birth certificate and signed up for an internet diploma course. He graduated top of his class and received a gold plated detective's shield for his effort. Armed with his prized shield, Fletcher takes on various petty crime cases in his school. Things are going pretty well until one day his shield is stolen and Fletcher is caught up in an investigation involving the town's biggest crime family. Grevious bodily harm, arson, and dangerous undercover work ensue as Fletcher is framed for several crimes he did not commit. He is forced to go on the run from the authorities with twelve hours to find the guilty party -- or he is the guilty party. 933411 3 2006 Half-Moon Investigations total:1448|5:391|4:497|3:441|2:102|1:17| 1448 5487 1885 214 831893 0786849576 9780786849574 1322 192 3.79 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178748392m/831893.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/831893.Half_Moon_Investigations 3 1 false Mon Jan 28 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 23 10:10:14 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 29 14:44:55 -0800 2008 more...]]> 516437 0739335286 9780739335284 19 9 3.79 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175459512m/516437.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/516437.Half_Moon_Investigations 5 2 false Wed Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sat Oct 13 10:30:33 -0700 2007 Sat Oct 13 10:31:21 -0700 2007 more...]]> 831893 0786849576 9780786849574 1322 192 3.79 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178748392m/831893.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/831893.Half_Moon_Investigations 4 1 false Wed Sep 09 11:49:23 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 08:08:53 -0700 2009 My name is Moon.
