Detective and Other Stories [EPUB ebook] 

Introducing Phineas 'Fin’ Erkle, Detective Extraordinaire, and his sidekick Hank the pigeon, as he solves cases in a small city. If your cat is stuck in a tree, he’s your man. If the paper-person keeps throwing your newspaper up on the roof, call him. He’ll tirelessly spend shoe leather to discover what you’ve lost, how you’ve been cheated, or if your parakeet has been murdered. All he wants in return is to keep on good terms with his wallet (which all too often is on life support).
