Whoopee! Chet and Bernie are back again! I really can’t get enough of these two. Bernie is invited to be the keynote speaker at the Great Western Private Eye Convention—uh huh, right. Then he and Chet are hired to find a boy missing from a wilderness camp. Did he wander off, get chased off by bullies or was it something sinister? But between small-town cops, ex-husbands, gold hunting characters and a pup that looks suspiciously like Chet, things really get heated up. It’s the usual mix of truth, lies and confusing clues that our intrepid sleuths must wade through but that doesn’t stop them. A case is a case and it must be solved. Chet just knows that Bernie can do the job.
