The Baboon with the Golden Bum cover

Twin toads, business baboons, a newt with a laboratory, and a mystery to be solved. The Free Range Detective Agency is on the case!

Seamus the turkey detective is once again desperate for a new case. When security breaches threaten Frank Bloombum, baboon and two-time BusinessMonkey of the Year’s top-secret money-making facilities, the Free Range Detective Agency is called to the rescue.

Who might be responsible? The baboon, the jackal, the newt, the toad or another creature lurking in the shadows?

Seamus and friends are back to solve a brand new mystery, in the second installment of Jed Lynch's Free Range Detective Agency series!

Another hilarious, and yet very serious investigation led by Seamus the private detective. Who said turkeys couldn’t solve mysteries? 

'I laughed so much I laid an egg. GENIUS.' Dustin the Turkey

'I laughed so much I laid an egg. GENIUS. The world has a new top turkey.'

* Dustin the Turkey *

‘Jed and Stephen have done it again, with another crazy, slightly anarchic, extremely Irish turkey detective …  Funny, clever, and just weird enough for kids to really enjoy … A fantastic read. I hope this series runs and runs.’

* Read and Reviewed *

The Baboon with the Golden Bum has all the ingredients of a great detective story in which everyone is trying to outwit everyone else.’

-- Kate Heap * Scope for Imagination *

'Jed Lynch has crafted another hilarious, and yet serious investigation led by ‘Seamus the private detective’ ...  A gimmick within the book is the inclusion of a postcard pre-addressed to ‘Seamus the private detective’ c/o the Dublin postal address of the Publisher. It’s great to see this old world use of engagement, as it will encourage children to practice their handwriting, having already practiced their reading.'
