Twelve-year old Henry Coffin helps out his dad at the Coffin and Pale Detective Agency. Only one thing is he's itching for the chance to work on a case of his own. And then beautiful, blonde Lily Larson walks in. In he dreaming? Lily wants them to find her mother—who's lost for the fourth time! Henry knows he's close to solving the mystery when he stumbles upon a secret mileage log, the petals of a strange flower, and a painted wooden stork—some very mysterious clues. What he doesn't know is that his search for Lily's missing mother may lead him into some very serious danger.

Also known as Evelyn Bolton and A.E. Bunting. Anne Evelyn Bunting, better known as Eve Bunting, is an author with more than 250 books. Her books are diverse in age groups, from picture books to chapter books, and topic, ranging from Thanksgiving to riots in Los Angeles. Eve Bunting has won several awards for her works. Bunting went to school in Ireland and grew up with storytelling. In Ireland, “There used to be Shanachies… the shanachie was a storyteller who went from house to house telling his tales of ghosts and fairies, of old Irish heroes and battles still to be won. Maybe I’m a bit of a Shanchie myself, telling stories to anyone who will listen.” This storytelling began as an inspiration for Bunting and continues with her work. In 1958, Bunting moved to the United States with her husband and three children. A few years later, Bunting enrolled in a community college writing course. She felt the desire to write about her heritage. Bunting has taught writing classes at UCLA. She now lives in Pasadena, California.
