Theo Crank and the Case of the Missing Planet

What happens when a planet disappears… and nobody can explain why?

Private investigator Theo Crank is used to odd cases—missing spouses, suspicious neighbors, and the occasional runaway pet. But when a secretive client walks into his office with an impossible problem, Theo finds himself facing the strangest mystery of his career:

A planet has gone missing.

Not destroyed.
Not hidden.
Not moved by any known force.

Simply… gone.

As Theo follows the trail from rain-soaked Chicago streets to eerie rural fields in Indiana, he uncovers a terrifying truth: the missing planet may not be lost at all—it may have been filed away.

Soon Theo encounters impossible distortions, men who leave no footprints, fields that seem to watch back, and a vast hidden system where reality itself is catalogued, reorganized, and stored on endless shelves.

Armed with nothing but his wit, stubborn curiosity, and a talent for surviving very bad decisions, Theo must solve a cosmic mystery before the universe is reordered beyond recognition.

Sci-fi meets comedy in this wildly entertaining cosmic detective adventure filled with mystery, sharp humor, and mind-bending twists.

Perfect for readers who love:

The universe is missing something.
Theo Crank intends to find it.
