After the mysterious death of his mother, eleven-year-old Jack Fair is whisked away to San Francisco's swanky Fairmont Hotel by his wicked Aunt Edith. There, he seems doomed to a life of fetching chocolates for his aunt and her pet chinchilla. Until one night, when Aunt Edith disappears, and the only clue is a ransom note written...in chocolate? Suddenly, Jack finds himself all alone on a quest to discover who kidnapped Aunt Edith and what happened to his mother. Alone, that is, until he meets an unlikely accomplice--Alfred Hitchcock himself! The two embark on a madcap journey full of hidden doorways, secret societies, cryptic clues, sinister villains, and cinematic flair. 勇敢的男孩與電影大師希區(qū)柯克并肩攜手，經(jīng)歷了一系列歡樂的神秘事件，充滿了黑色電影的激戰(zhàn)、驚險(xiǎn)與引人入勝。十一歲的男孩Jack Fair在母親神秘死亡之后，被打發(fā)到三藩市的奢華酒店Hotel Fairmont和姨母Edith同住。他被迫過上了用巧克力服侍姨母（和她的狗）的黯淡生活。直到某天，Edith失蹤了，唯一線索是藏在巧克力中的贖金要求。這下Jack必須單槍匹馬解決姨母的失蹤案，并破解母親的死亡...An intrepid boy teams up with Alfred Hitchcock himself in this rollicking mystery rife with action, adventure, intrigue, and all the flavor of film noir.
