Our favorite detective is back in not just one, but two new adventures.  That's right -- Chet Gecko and his partner, Natalie Attired, are on the case.  They are looking for a missing valentine and the winning ticket for a dessert from the local mall's sweet shop.  Suspects abound as do the puns and wisecracks.  But Chet is "as short on ideas as a ten-year-old TV sitcom".  Will our fearless detectives crack the case?
