Encyclopedia Brown And the Case of the Midnight Visitor (1977)
“But they were not policemen.
Every policeman from Maine to California knew about Idaville. Anyone who broke the law there was caught. Not a crook escaped.
How could that be? What was the secret?
No one ever guessed.
Idaville looked like many other seaside towns its size. It had lovely beaches, three movie theaters, and four banks. It had churches, a synagogue, and two delicatessens.
And on Rover Avenue it had a certain red brick house.
In the house lived Idaville's secre...t weapon against crime—ten-year-old Encyclopedia Brown.
Encyclopedia's father was chief of police. Because no one got away with breaking the law, the people of Idaville thought he was the bravest and smartest police chief in the world.
True, Chief Brown was brave. And he was smart enough to know what to do with a case Ixe could not solve.MoreLess
