Dooley Takes the Fall
By Norah McClintock
Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time - seventeen-year-old Dooley is supposed to be at work or at home, that's his uncle's rule. But instead Dooley's walking around nowhere near his home or work when he sees a kid fall from a bridge. He gets closer and knows the kid is dead, so he waits with the body until the cops show up. It doesn't help that Dooley's got a record, and the cop knows it, plus Dooley knows the dead guy, and they weren't exactly friends. A lot of people suspect Dooley had something to do with the boy's death. Will Dooley's uncle, a retired cop, continue to believe in his innocence and keep him out of trouble? And who should Dooley confide in, the dead guy's sister he wants to impress, or his almost too perfect friends? An action packed, compelling mystery you won't want to put down until the last page!
