Edwin Paine and Charles Rowland are no different than most boys. They love adventure, games, and spending time outdoors. They’re curious about girls, curious about life, and particularly curious when it comes to mysteries. You see, Edwin Paine and Charles Rowland happen to be two of the best detectives in England.

Note that we didn’t say living in England. That’s because Edwin and Charles aren’t living in England. In fact, they’re not living at all.
