A hilarious new series from Australia's favourite comedian, Peter Helliar, about Galileo – a horse with a talent for solving crimes.

For as long as he can remember, it has been Galileo's dream to become a police horse. But when his dream comes true, he soon realises he's not there to solve crimes – he's just a vehicle to carry around the 'real' human detectives.

When Galileo witnesses a crime, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He has a lot to learn, but each crime he solves is sure to take him one step closer to becoming a real detective...

Detective Galileo combines humour with mystery in a delightful tale that showcases Peter Helliar's knack for storytelling.
