One of my favorite authors has started a new series. It's for teens but since in the process of creating this series he eliminated my favorite series, I had to start reading it. It's a spin off of Myron Bolitar's series and it's his nephew getting into trouble now and his adventure in this novel was quite good. He's 14 and his father was recently killed in an automobile accident and his mother is a recovering drug addict. He's with his Uncle Myron who he's been estranged from for his whole life. A falling out between the uncle and his father happened many years before and now he's forced to live with that uncle. He's never had much opportunity to make friends since his parents traveled the world as volunteers. He now has a new school, two new friends, and a missing girlfriend. That's the mystery. What happened to the girlfriend? Mystery solved but a new one crops up at the end of the book so we're ready for the next adventure.
