Evan McCallister's father is always hard on him and Evan is always getting into trouble. But even though the two are always are at odds, he doesn't want his father going to jail for murder. Even though Evan has key evidence in freeing his father, he's a bit hesitant to turn it in, because it would uncover his own criminal activities. Instead, he sets out to find out who murdered his father himself.

More humor than suspense, this delightful read, will keep readers turning the pages as they try and figure out who Lubchenko is and how it all turns out. Will Evan's idiocy be the end of him?
