"I laughed, I was utterly touched to the point of tears, and I LOOOOVED how these cats protect their family while solving a case." K.G.


Buckley and Bogey, Cat Detectives, find their next big case with the Buckley and Bogey Cat Detective Agency to be their most difficult yet. It all starts one hot summer day, when the boys are sitting in the front window of their Mom's antique store. That's when they see a big, black limo crawling up the street and going right through downtown St. Gertrude. So who is in that long, black car? None other than famous movie star, Steele Bronson! And his surprise arrival sends the entire town into a tizzy! Especially when he announces his plans to shoot his next movie right there at the St. Gertrude Library, housed in a historic four-story mansion. And wouldn't you know it, but it all happens just Gracie, the boys' human sister, is a finalist in the town's Fourth of July essay contest. Holy Catnip!

But it isn't long before Buckley and Bogey realize there is something very wrong with the whole picture . . . including the one that Steele Bronson is filming. Because it soon becomes very clear that the guy is after much more than just an Academy Award. And when the drama turns to danger for the boys and their family, that's when Buckley and Bogey jump into the scene. Because this is one case that has it all - from Fourth of July festivities to tales of the American Revolution, and from a secret code to a hidden key! And unless Buckley and Bogey want to see this movie turn into a tragedy, it'll be up to them to crack the case . . . as well as the secret code . . . Holy Mackerel!
