''Ripley's Bureau of Investigation'' is a book series written by Kay Wilkins (uncredited on the covers), illustrated by Ailin Chambers, and (apparently most importantly) published by Ripley Publishing to promote [[Franchise/RipleysBelieveItOrNot Ripley's Believe It or Not]] to kids. But it still could be considered a good series in its own right. It consists of eight published books. Two extra books, ''Danger Underground'' and ''Haunted Hotel'', have remained unpublished and the series was intended to have twelve books in total, but it discontinued, likely due to low sales.
