What is Top-secret grandad and me: death by tumble dryer about?

When a dead body vanishes from the library of a Glasgow primary school, eleven-year-old Jay Patel decides to investigate. His new detective partner is his grandad’s ghost, who is transparent, terrible at haunting and unable to walk through walls. Together they follow a trail involving a haunted mask, diamonds, blackmail and some suspiciously dirty laundry. As Jay uncovers more clues, he must outwit dangerous villains and solve the mystery before the case becomes even stranger.
