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.
But being a detective is difficult when you are Kieran Woods. When you are amazing at drawing but terrible at fitting in. And when there are dangerous secrets everywhere – not just outside, but under your own roof.
