The Last Chance Detectives
As clubhouses go, having an old B-17 Flying Fortress bomber from World War II as your hangout is pretty cool. In the town of Ambrosia, Arizona, the four friends Mike Fowler, Ben Jones, Winnona "Winnie" Whitefeather, and Spencer Williams use the old plane as the headquarters to run their detective agency called the Last Chance Detectives. Together they solve strange cases in the badlands of Arizona.
The Last Chance Detectives universe includes books, films, and audio dramas. The audio drama series features Jason Whittaker from Adventures in Odyssey, as well as some other familiar voice actors. Will Mike Fowler solve his greatest mystery — what happened to his father? There's only one way to find out.
Book 1: Canyon Quest
A dry, forsaken blip on the edge of civilization. That’s what Mike Fowler thinks of the little town of Ambrosia in the Arizona desert. He has no friends, no fun, and no answers to the agonizing disappearance of his dad in a top-secret military mission. But that could all change after Mike stumbles onto his dad’s puzzling journal in the old B-17 out back. |
Book 2: Mystery Lights of Navajo Mesa
At first it was just a strange voice on an old radio. Then there’s a robbery at the Ambrosia cultural museum―priceless Aztec relics are stolen. And Ben has an encounter in the desert that can only be described as out-of-this-world. When mystery lights begin to appear in Navajo Mesa, the local sheriff grows strangely silent about it all. |
Book 3: Legend of the Desert Bigfoot
Is a mythical beast lurking in Ambrosia? It travels only at night. It stands three feet taller than the average human. It wields incredible strength. It’s been called Sasquatch, Yeti, Orange Eyes, Mud Monster . . . Bigfoot . . . and the people of Ambrosia believe it’s only a legend. Until now! |
Book 4: Escape from Fire Lake
Will Mike find his way out before he runs out of water? Winnie, Ben, and Spence have just found Mike’s compass in the dirt at an old abandoned motel in town. And worse, the empty getaway car from yesterday’s bank robbery is sitting in the motel’s courtyard. |
Book 5: Terror from Outer Space
Soon another mystery unfolds as reports of strange and frightening apparitions filter in from the desert, along with smoky green fog. Could aliens and enemy soldiers both be attacking Ambrosia? |
