When twelve-year-old Frankie steps onto his boat, Max Plank has no intention of helping her find her lost big sister. He's looking forward to a well-deserved vacation. His plan includes nothing more than a little fishing, a little fooling around, and a whole lot of hammock time.
Little does he know that this small, cute, skateboarding time bomb will lead 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 untangle the convoluted case and find the little girl's sister, the mayhem and dead bodies pile up. Finally, he realizes that the only way to get the whole truth involves risking his own life. But for Max Plank, this is just the price of admission to the game he's decided to play.
Stray Cat Blues is the first Max Plank mystery. Coming soon the next two adventures: The Ties That Bind and Devil's Arcade.
