How Conrad Became a Detective

On the roof of a small cottage in the middle of Stockholm lives a crow named Conrad. In the evenings, he grills sausages over a fire or sleeps in a chair, tucking his beak into a book. But one day,... the silence is shattered by cries for help: just what he didn't need, a seagull chick has fallen out of its nest and is lost! Conrad doesn't like seagulls; he wants to find the parents as soon as possible and get rid of the eternally hungry chick. But it's not that simple; the case takes a detective twist! To solve the mystery, Conrad is helped by Mrs. Hudson the owl and Carmen the seagull, who works as a conductor in the bird choir of the Stockholm Opera. In this book—the first in a series of humorous detective stories—Conrad finds his life's calling and becomes a detective.
