The story begins as Christopher discovered the dead body of Wellington , Mrs. Spears’ dog, speared by a garden fork and left dead in her front yard. Afterwards, Mrs. Spears’ called the police and Christopher was questioned. He did not like the policeman touching him, and so he hit him and was cautioned. In order to clear his name, Christopher decided to investigate. He recorded his experience in a book, but was confiscated by his father Ed.
Christopher was desperate to find his book back. During his book hunt, he uncovered many letters from his mother Judy, who he was told and assumed dead. Judging from the letters, Christopher concluded that his mother was still alive and that his father had been hiding the truth from him. When his father confessed that he had faked his wife’s death and that he was the one who killed Wellington over a dispute with Mrs. Spears, Christopher was so shocked that he no longer trusted his father. He even feared that his father might kill him, since he had already killed Wellington .
Scared and confused, Christopher set off to find his mother, who lived in London with Mr. Spears. Judy was glad to have Christopher to live with them, but Mr. Spears did not like it. The two of them eventually broke up due to the conflicts over Christopher.
Judy moved into a rented room in Swindon with Christopher, and after an argument with Ed, she allowed Ed to meet him daily for a short while. However, Christopher was still very afraid of his father; he even believed that he should be imprisoned for killing Wellington . In the end, Ed bought Christopher a pet dog in replacement of his dead pet rat Toby, and promised to rebuild trust with his son no matter how long it would take.
