A young man accused of murder claims self-defense — but all the evidence points to murder!

In small towns like Gyver, WWI veterans don't have it easy. America is just emerging from the 1920 depression. Jobs are few and far between, disability and shell shock are real, and battle fatigue is taking its toll on their bodies and souls.

Violet Grave's friend, Hank Convoy, is one of these vets. With a grandmother and disabled sister to support, he takes what odd jobs he can get. But like Violet, he's a product of 1920s youth culture, so most of what he earns goes toward cards and bootleg liquor.

To add to his troubles, he's arrested on suspicion of murdering an army buddy found in the alleyway near his house.

Violet begs her older sisters, Eve and Helena, to help prove Hank killed out of self-defense and not cold-blooded murder.

Will the sisters solve this confusing case based on a cigar butt, a trash pick-up date, and a possible missing witness?

Catch this second installment of the series that keeps crime-solving all in the family just as the Roaring Twenties is getting underway!
