To his chagrin, Alaskan PI Cecil Younger learns his teenage daughter has launched her own detective agency. But when her first case goes awry, she’s going to need some help from an unlikely source: her father, who’s currently locked up in prison.
The verdict from the three-judge panel is in. Cecil Younger, bumbling criminal defense investigator and totally embarrassing father, has been sentenced to seven and a half years in prison for his involvement in...well, a number of things, ranging from destruction of private property to killing a guy. But compared to the original 25-year sentence, it’s not so bad. His success with getting his sentence reduced has attracted the attention of his fellow inmates, and one man, “Fourth Street”, reaches out for advice for his upcoming parole hearing in exchange for protection and companionship.
When he isn’t reading Adrienne Rich or James Baldwin with Fourth Street, Cecil spends his time filling up large yellow legal pads. He writes, mostly, about his teenage daughter, Blossom, who is on a Nancy Drew-like quest to help her friend, George, discover the truth about her biological parents, which turns out to be complicated. Shortly after submitting a mail-in genetics test, George learns she is the infamous “Baby Jane Doe” who was kidnapped from her Native mother shortly after she was born. A media and legal circus quickly ensues, and George’s reunion with her birth family isn’t the heartwarming story the journalists hoped it would be. There is an even darker secret about the baby-snatching case, a secret threatens to destroy not just George’s family - but Cecil’s as well.

This one is much more than just a story

Meanwhile, great and unusual characters, excellent story, and perfect, deceptively clear writing. I hope Cecil gets out of prison soon but he’s managing well.
The reader did a good job conveying Cecil’s passionate but awkward personality.
One of the best

Too crass and graphic for me
