About this listen

Twelve-year-old Frankie Bishop is a model kid: quiet and bright. So everyone, especially his family, is shocked when he's arrested for drug possession - and horrified when he's sentenced to juvenile detention at Eldridge Academy. His uncle, Bruce Kantor of the Help Innocent Prisoners Project, wants to help but knows he's too close to the case.

His associate Dani Trumball has family worries of her own to deal with, but she knows Bruce wouldn't ask for help without cause. Just as she and her team begin to investigate, the case gets even thornier: Frankie is missing, and evidence points to an Eldridge cover-up.

As the FBI launches a hunt for the boy, Dani knows something isn't right. Why would a minor's first offense earn such a harsh punishment? Unconvinced by the court documents, Dani is dogged in her pursuit of the truth that will save Frankie's future - if he still has one.

Another good read. Can't wait for the next one.

Another good read. Cannot wait to read the next one. (Listened to Audible Version)

I love how each book is in a different location and we get an insight into the different laws, legal structures/processes, etc. that seem to occur between different states in the US.

This books heads into some deeper topics than some of the previous ones and does it well.

Again, the interactions between Dani and her colleagues, along with seeing her struggle with the whole work/life/family balance situation, I find adds great value to the book.

Am I glad I read it - yes, without a doubt.
Was it a waste of my time - definitely not.
Would I sit down and read it all over again - I actually intend to re-listen to the whole series on audiobook as I enjoyed them so much.
Would I read more by this author based on this book - yes, I already have and cannot wait for more.

I listened to the Audible Unabridged Audio version of this book. I found the narrator great to listen to and perfectly suited to the story.
