Oz finds a dead body in his family's restaurant. After his older brother is detained by police as the primary suspect, Oz launches his own investigation, discovering the truth about his long-dead father along the way. Oz's story is a run-of-the-mill tale of a kid solving a case the police can't crack, with just enough suspense to propel reluctant readers.
