About the book: 1999 / There are thousands of private detectives in the world, but in the city of Idaville there is only one. There’s no need for more here, because the only private detective in the city, Leroy Brown, nicknamed “Encyclopedia,” has never stumbled on a single case. Leroy's father serves as the chief of the local police and is proud of his service record and the successes of his subordinates, but he is even more proud of the Encyclopedia - his son. Artist Max Nikitenko.
