Seventeen-year-old Charlie Hope expects to have an uneventful summer helping his mother at the family hotel.

Then Mr. Ignato is found dead in his room. Thing is, Charlie doesn’t think it’s an accident. Only Penny supports Charlie’s belief and she’s eager to investigate what could be a real murder when the two discover something valuable in Mr. Ignato’s room. Did the old man have a hidden criminal past? 9781459833500
