The Snow Formula

Without the Formula, no snow at Christmas.

Il Commissario con la lente e il suo husky davanti alla torre del laboratorio, sotto l’aurora

Someone has stolen the Snow Formula from Professor Winter’s lab. Commissioner Conti calls in the children as scientific consultants: ten pieces of evidence hidden around the house, four suspects and an online Terminal where the codes go. Every riddle hides a real phenomenon, and at the end the deep dives explain what was discovered.
