JerryMayaʼs Detective Agency. The Riddle of the Scorpion

In just a few days, Valleby is celebrating its 500th birthday! But the festivities could be disrupted by a thief whose trademark is… a scorpion. Will the young detectives, Lasse and Maja, pick up his trail and save the celebrations?

The detective duo faces another tough case. Someone clearly wants to prevent the celebration, complete with free sweets that all the residents of Valleby are eagerly awaiting, from going ahead. A telescope disappears from the Academy of Science, fireworks prepared for the display go off prematurely, and a live scorpion vanishes from the jewellery shop. Maja and Lasse have several suspects. They do not even rule out the possibility that the priest is responsible – after all, clues were found in the church tower. A police officer and Lillie, a retired thief who lives in a care home, help them with the investigation.
