What Meets the Eye — David DeLee

A young boy. Stolen cookies. An ordinary family and a dangerous secret.

Accused of something he didn't do, nine-year-old Tommy Hendrickson hires tough-guy PI Brice Bannon to clear his name and bring the real perpetrator to justice. Tommy's alleged offense -- stealing cookies from the cookie jar.

But as Bannon tries to help, he learns there's more going on here than a single mom struggling to raise her son on her own. The deeper he digs, Bannon re-discovers a lesson he never should have forgotten. No good deed goes unpunished when there's more to the story than what meets the eye.
