Description
Retired private detective and current seventh grader Steve Brixton has a new job: he takes out the trash for five bucks a week.
But it's hard to leave the old game behind.
On a train trip down the California coast, Steve and his best chum, Dana, are pulled into a mystery involving a fleet of stolen automobiles, a vanishing girl, and a phantom train car.
For a great detective, the best part of retiring is coming out of retirement.

"Barnett’s sly and often silly Hardy Boy parody chugs along with plenty of laughs and enough honest-to-gosh mystery to please any lover of boy detective fiction. Rex’s black-and-white pencils (which also parody the Hardy tales) are still a fine match for the goofiness. Mention of the next adventure at mystery’s close will make Brixton fans smile."
-- Kirkus Reviews
"An amusing addition to the Brixton Brothers series."
-- Booklist
