First Sentence

"Your Briefing Congratulations — you've been hired as a rookie detective for the Acme Detective Agency. Your goal is to outsmart Carmen Sandiego and her gang by solving the cases in this book. There are four cases to solve. Start by removing the cards from the middle of this book. Divide the cards into four groups. You should have the following: 4 Stolen Object Cards 4 Bookmark/Scorecards 8 Suspect Cards 8 Map Cards Each case involves a stolen object. Decide which case you are going to solve by picking a stolen object card. Put the other stolen object cards away until you are ready to solve those cases. Use a different scorecard for each case. As you read through each case, you will be given clues about the suspects. Write these clues down on your scorecard. Compare these clues to your suspect cards. Only one suspect will fit all the clues. Once you have picked a suspect, set aside the other cards until the next game."
