He stands beside Mrs. Shears’ dead dog, which has been speared with a garden fork, it is seven minutes after midnight and Christopher is under suspicion.
He records each fact in the book he is writing to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington. He has an extraordinary brain and is exceptional at math while ill-equipped to interpret everyday life.
His detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that upturns his world.
