Quique tiene quince años y una curiosidad inusual. Acaba de terminar un curso por correspondencia para ser detective privado. Un verano, en vez de partir a Concón con su familia, se queda en Santiago probando suerte como investigador. Junto a su nana Gertru, pondrá un aviso en el diario y así atraerá su primer caso, que involucra a un arquero de fútbol desaparecido, un antiguo accidente y un inusual testamento.
