Hawk McCoy can’t wait for the last bell to ring. Armed with his fingerprinting kit and constant curiosity, the hardworking ten-year-old plans to spend his vacation finding stuff to investigate. And it’s not long before he sees the perfect clue… a strange beacon on the horizon.
Hoping to earn more money so he can add to his super-sleuth collection, Hawk polishes windows, washes doors, and asks endless questions. But when tight-lipped men in black come to town and start poking into his neighbor’s lives, the bright kid suspects he’s stumbled onto something big.
Is Hawk’s sharp-eyed snooping about to land him neck-deep in hot water?
