Stray Cat Blues

When twelve-year-old Frankie steps onto his boat with a sad tale of her missing sister, Max can’t resist the small, cute, skateboarding time bomb who leads him into a mystery with a tangled web of secrets and lies involving small-time hoods, powerful gangsters, corrupt politicians, paranoid hippies, and most dangerously, his long-time nemesis, a twisted casino operator at the heart of the city’s criminal trade.  As Max races to solve the convoluted case, the dead bodies pile up. Finally, he realizes he must risk his own life to gain the truth and save the little girl.
