A prequel and origin story for hapless child detective Timmy Failure--including how he got his red scarf.

"Crime doesn't take a holiday. Neither does greatness. Although I, Timmy Failure, the world's greatest detective, am in Florida, I am NOT on holiday. For in this hotbed of criminals, with only the help of an unpaid intern, I must keep my wits about me. Nowhere is safe on this island, where six-toed cats steal pants and chickens launch deadly attacks. But I know this: there is treasure."--Page 4 of cover.

In the sixth book in Stephan Pastis's hilarious series, Timmy is being threatened and must rely on his new partner to solve the mystery -- and possibly save his life! Timmy is in Key West, Florida, ostensibly for the honeymoon of his mother and Doorman Dave -- if they even got married, which Timmy doubts. Unfortunately for Timmy, crime doesn't take a vacation. And because Total has fled to Cuba seeking political asylum, Timmy must rely on a new partner for help: Doorman Dave's nephew Emilio. Meanwhile, a surprise newcomer shows up in Timmy's life and, as if things couldn't get more hectic, Timmy's pants have been stolen by a six-toed cat.

A collection of comic strips mocks the foibles of human nature with the antics of egotistical Rat, clueless Pig, intellectual Goat, and letter-writing optimist Zebra.

In true Pearls Before Swine tradition, this treasury is full of Stephan Pastis's cynical humor, sharp wit, and clever commentary.

In the series finale, Timmy Failure and his class create a hilarious film about his life — just in time for the holidays. Though I, Timmy Failure, have solved many notorious crimes and now wish to enjoy my retirement, my fans have begged me to turn my memoirs into a movie, an ode to my greatness. I am, however, beset by enemies, the worst of whom is Tom John John, the buffoonish movie director. What’s more, my father is in town, working at a bar, which is obviously just a cover for our father-son crime-fighting partnership. And my dim-witted polar bear business partner, Total, wants to be reunited with his family. I should have known it would end like this. I expected more.
