The bicycle thief

The detective club at Maribakken school continues to roll! And roll! And roll! For Kalle's bike doesn’t have brakes!!!

At Maribakken school, the day has arrived for the big cycling test, where students get a cycling driver’s license. At the same time they are visited by a real crime writer. What a day! They have not even started the test when it is discovered that the biggest and most expensive bicycle has been stolen! Before the day is
over, Kalle, Eskil and the rest of the detective club will
find the stolen bike - and lose it again. What’s going on?
Does a seasoned crime writer have any super tips for
our fresh detective friends?
