Page 2. A low-angle panel looking up at Momo for maximum tiny drama. She holds her oversized magnifying glass upright in one hand and flings her other tiny arm out to point, her too-big coat flaring behind her like a cape, chin lifted, the theory already fully formed. A few soft curls of scent drift in the air around her. MOMO: 'A guest. Uninvited and perfumed.'

About this chapter

A sweet citrus smell drifts through the Tiny Case Agency, and Momo is certain a perfumed intruder has slipped in. She sniff-tracks the phantom guest to the mini-fridge, to Biscuit, to the boxes — but the scent follows her wherever she goes, because it is coming from a warm mandarin orange she pocketed days ago and forgot. Ganta points at her coat pocket on page five. She runs right past him, corners the cat, and only cracks the case when she reaches into her own pocket and pulls out the culprit.
