Story Behind The Book

I loved the idea of writing a book set in a creepy and mysterious manor, with a 10 year old wanna be private investigator, who uses hand-me-down technology from his dad's PI business. Add in some colourful characters who seem to all be a little lenient on telling the truth and you have one wacky mystery that only Frankie Dupont can solve.
