Thirteen-year-old Theo Boone, fresh from solving a high-profile murder case, finds himself entangled in a new mystery that hits close to home. As he continues to offer legal advice to those around him, Theo must navigate a personal challenge that threatens to upend his world. Can he uncover the truth before it's too late? With stakes higher than ever, Theo's skills and courage are put to the ultimate test in this gripping tale of justice and intrigue.

From the publisher

Book 2 in the thrilling young mystery series from internationally bestsellling author John Grisham When we last saw Theo Boone, he ensured that justice was served by uncovering evidence that kept a guilty man off of the streets. Hot off this high-profile murder trial, thirteen-year-old Theo is still dispensing legal advice to friends and teachers. But just when it seems as if his life has calmed down and gone back to the status quo, a new legal mystery comes to town, and this time it’s personal.
