An anonymous note in the middle of the night…

An obituary for a banker who died in a hailstorm…

A mysterious woman vanishing down the stairwell…

These clues lead Henry Alabaster to a spooky mansion in a coastal town with his uncle, Kelvin McCloud. As a weather detective, Kelvin knows a thing or two about hailstorms, and the strange events surrounding the banker’s death speak of foul play. Henry teams up with fiery artist Rachel and learns the solutions to everyday weather mysteries. Could the hail in the storm really have killed the banker, or was his accident no accident at all? When your uncle is a weather detective like Kelvin McCloud, you need to be ready for anything.
