2. The story
• In this first story of the book series, Alfred will live an incredible
adventure. Alfred with Agatha and her dog, Murica Jones, will
investigate the disappearance of Elster’s jewelry, ten precious
statuettes in the form of birds. When the owner of the jewels, the
old lady Elster, disappears, the three detectives will be entangled in
a real police story.
• Alfred could never have imagined that he would be able to pass
from one mansion to another hanging from a rope without being
informed or that he would come out alive from the attack of a
swarm of hungry birds. It also seems unbelievable that he could
find real friends due to this adventure.
