This fun mystery novel is a whodunit to find out who the jewel thieves are that have
implicated his father in their heist. With his father in jail, his mother in a sanitarium with tuberculosis, he finds ways to be very resourceful to try and stay one step ahead of child welfare services and uncover the real culprits in the robbery. Despite seeing the real killer flee the scene, Aaron can't do much to help in the moment. Undaunted, he enlists an unlikely band of friends and helpful adults to clear his father's name, including a world-weary paperboy, an aspiring teen journalist, a kindly lawyer, and a neighborhood friend with a penchant for baking. And as they dig into the details of the case, these unconventional detectives reveal a cover-up that goes much deeper than a jewelry-store heist gone sour.
