The outrageously funny adventures of Mark Anchovy, pizza delivery boy and private detective, continue in his third mission - to Japan.
As a pizza detective, Colin Kingsley AKA Mark Anchovy has survived murderous criminals, bloodthirsty henchmen, and some questionable modes of transport. He now has a much more worrying problem: his younger sister is working as his apprentice.
Coaching seven-year-old Alicia for her exams to join the Golden Spatula League would be challenging enough. But the siblings must head to Japan to track down the missing English eccentric Lord Bobo - former host of the hit 90s gameshow, 'Battered by the Butler' - before he winds up dead.
Their search takes them from the bright lights of Tokyo to the eerie calm of Kirajima Island, where an exclusive school for billionaires may hold the key. As disasters mount, the pair are threatened with expulsion from the G.S.L. Standing in their way are a trio of assassins, a pernickety PA, and a killer robot fridge.
Fantastically funny and clever, the third in the hapless young detective's adventures.
Meet Mark Anchovy: pizza delivery boy and private detective on his second mission - to Russia.
Join Colin Kingsley, aka Mark Anchovy, on his second case for the Golden Spatula League.
Posted to Russia on a school exchange programme, he must find a missing casket of jewelled egg cups. His only lead is a frail ex-detective called Swirly Ben. Who happens to be on the hit list of a jewel thief called Heidi Hyde High.
On top of all that, crusty Mr Hogstein is directing the school play. Oh, and Colin's sister Alicia has found out what 'extra anchovies' really means.

Colin Kingsley is a pizza delivery boy with a twist. He's actually an aspiring detective.
But in sleepy Rufflington-on-Sea, there are no cases to solve - until the Golden Spatula League come calling. The world's premier agency for 'caterer-detectives', run by children, the G.S.L. have been dazzled by Colin's freakish memory skills.
To join their ranks, Colin - codenamed 'Mark Anchovy' - must fly to Rome to track down a valuable stolen painting, titled, 'Girl With A Squirrel'. The chief suspect: Big Alan Fresco, notorious art thief and pizza addict. It's the toughest, most pizza-ry mystery the G.S.L. have ever encountered.
The first book in a trilogy that readers will gobble up!
