In a small town on the banks of Lake Laloozee, lives the worlds greatest flamingo detective. His name is Fabio. Hes not tall or strong, but slight and pink. And hes very, very clever. When Fabio and his giraffe associate Gilbert (terrible at disguises) drop into the Hotel Royale for a lemonade (pink, naturally), Fabio is persuaded to judge the hotels talent contest. But when the most promising contestant Julia the jazz-singing hippopotamus goes missing, Fabio must put his thinking cap back on and solve the mystery!
This neon-bright mystery involves a talent show, a hippo jazz singer, gallons of pink lemonade and, of course, Fabio * Metro *
