Description

When a new client presents herself at their backyard detective agency, Baron and his best friend, Myles, are suddenly at odds.

Baron dreams of being like his favorite hard-boiled detectives: tough, sexy and in control. In reality, he's anything but, as his older sister, Kitty, never fails to point out. Could a new case and this new client be Baron's dreams come true? Will Wilson, new in town and lonely, choose Baron or Myles—or neither? What happened to her sister's blue whale? And her sister? But the biggest mystery of all is whether Baron will ever tell Wilson how he feels.
