Synopses

The Disappearing Daughter

Damian Drooth arrives for his first case and finds himself drawn into the glamorous world of filmmaking. The setting may look impressive, but it soon proves to be a den of deceit.

The Popstar's Wedding

Damian returns to take on a new assignment: protecting wedding presents at a celebrity event. Superstar singer Tiger Lilly is marrying a footballer, and her number one fan is on hand to guard the gifts.

Spycatcher

Damian helps a friendly old man who believes his precious, hard-won inventions are being ripped off by a neighbour. The meeting of Young Inventors becomes the natural place to begin the investigation.

The Mega Quiz

Hearing about a Mega Quiz with an amazing prize, Damian enters with his friends, despite the entrance fee. Before long, he suspects all is not as it seems and starts tracking a dastardly trickster.

Football Forgery

A case emerges at the local football ground when someone starts selling forged tickets. After several false starts, the only evidence is a photograph taken by a classmate.

Dog Snatchers

When a neighbour’s dog goes missing, Damian and his gang of detective apprentices are called in to help. His ideas range from supergluing missing posters in a newsagent’s window to setting up a decoy dog.
