Description

There's been a murder, but the police don't care. It was only a homeless old man after all. Kieran cares. He's going to find out what really happened. To Colin. And to his grandma, who just stopped coming round one day. It's good that Kieran's a master of observation, and knows all the detective tricks of the trade. But being a detective is difficult when you're amazing at drawing but terrible at fitting in. And when there are dangerous secrets everywhere, not just outside, but under your own roof.
