Johnny wants to be a private investigator and gets his first real break when he's asked to tail the leader of one of biggest gangs in the projects. Johnny quickly finds himself in deeper trouble than he could ever have imagined. Fast-paced, funny (yes, funny) this a quick read that fans of urban action will enjoy.

Kevin Brooks does it again: a great little read with a funny, likeable main character thrown into a mess o' trouble by a double-dealing gang leader. This quality hi-lo literature and will appeal to reluctant readers, especially boys. ( )
