He is a retired sea captain and he describes some of the mysteries of the sea to them.The kids live relatively normal lives. They go fishing; they play a first game of golf, and after hearing a career day talk by a police detective, decide to form a club to solve mysteries. Mary is selected as the first President of the club and helps them as they choose to follow Robert's Rules of Order to run their meetings.The captain gives them an assignment to investigate and through his efforts, the bully is rehabilitated and everything works out alright in the end.

Author Biography:

William Jenkins is an ancient Canadian. He lived in several Ontario cities, most recently in Brockville, the setting for this story. He has written a few stories in the Private Investigators Club series initially including lesson plans for teachers and students. Now, however, you can get a copy of the lesson plans in PDF format for free by emailing williamhenryjenkins@gmail.com. Without the lesson plans, the book is smaller and is less expensive than the first edition. Information on the other stories in the series is available at http: //www.williamjenkins.ca.
