About the Book

When 10 year old Betty Lou Cockram and her best friends Denny and Butch aren’t busy playing pirates in the creek or finding adventure in the paradise that is the town dump, they’re quietly building a reputation as the best detectives in town. Their powers of observation, aided by the trusty nose of Betty’s chihuahua Pedro and independently-moving eyes of her chameleon Elizardbeth, have solved a string of cases like The Case of the Vanishing Schwinn and What Happened to Mrs. Spillman’s Chicken? -or- The Killer Strikes at Midnight. But on an ordinary Saturday, a scream and a collision with a schoolmate land Betty in the middle of a case bigger than she ever could have imagined. Betty and her friends must put their skills of deduction to the test - and lives on the line - to save a missing four year old from a sinister fate. Will they close the case? Will they make it home by curfew? Or will more than one victim be claimed by the howl of the rougarou?
