Summary

In this fifteenth book in the series, Chet finally gets a case that throws him for a loop. People he thinks are the salt of the earth turn out to be the scum of the pond. And lowdown punks turn out to be nice guys. Then there's a deadly, school-wide stink bomb and a classroom fire that almost spells the end for Chet. It's enough to make a gecko give up detecting and turn to knitting doilies. But he toughs it out. And why? Loyalty. Someone's trying to put his mongoose janitor pal Maureen DeBree on ice. A true-blue P.I. doesn't take that kind of monkey business lying down. Oh, no, Chet Gecko keeps digging for truth like a mole after an earthworm sandwich. When you want your floors waxed, dial "M" for mongoose. When you want danger, deception, and trouble galore, dial "G" for Gecko.

Excerpts

School-wide sabotage . . .Jerry Dooty extended his cupped paws. "I found these on the floor in Maureen’s office."We leaned closer. He held a bunch of little-bitty pieces of wood. Headless matchsticks."I thought they seemed a little . . . I don’t know, suspicious?" he whined. "Figured I’d take them to Principal Zero, see what he thought."Natalie frowned. "You think he’ll think she’s suspicious?""I think he’ll think she’s not thinking," said Mr. Dooty. "Maybe he’ll think she made the stink.""The stink?" I snapped. "You think?""I think." Jerry Dooty gave an elaborate shrug."But who cares what I think? I’m just the assistant janitor."Could he be right? Could my mongoose pal have sunk so low? I shook my head. Never in a million lunchtimes.Mr. Dooty shuffled past us, droning, "But I’ll tell you one thing—"Before he could finish his one thing, three things happened.First, Natalie sneezed. "Ha-CHOO!"Second, an eerie creaking, like the front doors to a thousand haunted houses, filled the air.And third, with a loud FOOMPF! the one-story building next to us collapsed.
