It's 1936: Moose Flanagan (Al Capone Does My Shirts) is now thirteen, and his father has been promoted to associate warden of Alcatraz. When Moose dozes off while babysitting and wakes to discover that the family apartment is on fire, blame settles on his autistic sister, Natalie. But Moose suspects arson. Choldenko's novel is a multifaceted mix of history, mystery, intrigue, and humor.
