The Mystery of the Existential Envoy

The world has changed since the first time The Three Investigators went into action, but some things never go out of style. The persistence of truth. The power of perseverance. The importance of questioning everything. Conceived and co-written by Elizabeth Arthur, the daughter of Robert Arthur, the creator of the Three Investigators universe, this exciting reboot of the classic series takes its iconic characters into a new age. They return reimagined, reinvigorated, and more relevant than ever. In the fifth book of a 26-book story arc, Pete is shocked when he stumbles upon what he thinks is a wildlife-smuggling operation right there in Rocky Beach. During a visit to Veronica's Exotic Birds, Pete meets Rafael Solares, a man with ties to both the Chumash people and the local Hispanic community, and a scarlet macaw named Rojo who speaks in strange, cryptic phrases.
