A funny, suspenseful mystery and unlikely friendship story from New
York Times bestselling author Gordon Korman--perfect for fans of
Swindle and Ungifted.
Keenan has lived all over the world but nowhere quite as strange as
Centerlight Island, which is split between the United States and Canada.
The only thing weirder than Centerlight itself is his neighbor Zarabeth,
aka ZeeBee.
ZeeBee is obsessed with the island's history as a Prohibition-era
smuggling route. She's also convinced that her beloved dog, Barney, was
murdered--something Keenan finds pretty hard to believe.
Just about everyone on Centerlight is a suspect, because everyone hated
Barney, a huge dog--part mastiff, part rottweiler--notorious for
terrorizing the community. Accompanied by a mild-mannered new dog who is
practically Barney's opposite, ZeeBee enlists Keenan's help to solve the
mystery.
As Keenan and ZeeBee start to unravel the clues, they uncover a shocking
conspiracy that dates back to Centerlight's gangster past. The good news
is that Keenan may have found the best friend he's ever had. The bad
news is that the stakes are sky-high.
And now someone is after them. . . .
