Meet Miles & Fargo: The First Turtle Detectives Taking on Crime and Adventure in the Big City!

Miles and Fargo are your average turtles. They swim, lounge around and fight over the one rock in their tank. But Miles and Fargo are different in one major way: like Jimmy Stewart's character in the iconic 1954 film "Rear Window," they witness a crime from the window of their apartment and manage to solve it without leaving their tank.

From Elaine Loeser, fiction writer, lawyer and former writer for the long-running NBC drama "Law & Order" comes The Case of the Pinched Stradivarius (Ampersand, Inc., Publishing, April 6 2018), with wonderfully vibrant illustrations by Greg Arvanitakis. One day, while looking out the window, Miles and Fargo witness a little girl's violin stolen by a bad man, who snatches the instrument and runs away. After watching carefully, the turtles enlist the services of Bogie and Bandit, the dogs who live in the apartment with them, to do the legwork on their walks. The dogs get all the credit when the violin is found. But that's ok with Miles and Fargo. They did the thinking. This is the story of how they manage to solve the crime and bring the thief to justice, thus becoming: Miles and Fargo, Turtle Detectives!

Told in an all-dialogue format, The Case of the Pinched Stradivarius is a unique whodunit. For kids, parents and teachers alike, it's a fun story that introduces readers to Miles and Fargo, their background and how they become the Holmes and Watson of the amniote world!
