Southeast Michigan, present day. The auto companies are sinking
faster than an SUV off Luna Pier, and the job scene is the worst in
America. But ever since his father hired on at flourishing
Wolverine Motors, Milo Shoemaker has felt like a winner. Doesn't
Wolverine make the best fire engines in the world? Their workers
must be doing something right. Then his dad drives over a cliff in
the fog. Someone robs their house during the funeral. Did his
father die by accident--or did his past catch up with him? To find
out, Milo passes up college to take a job at Wolverine, where he
uncovers dangerous truths about business, heroes, and the boss's
daughter. Maybe some secrets should remain... unaccounted for.
From UNACCOUNTED FOR: "Don't rule out murder." "Murder " Milo was
startled into laughter. "By who?" "Whoever he owed money to. Isn't
it just as likely that whoever he owed killed him, as that he
killed himself? Come on, Shoe. He had a lot to live for. " Zaffer
shook his head in world-weary wisdom at Milo's naivete. "Moscow
rules, buddy." "What?" Zaffer ticked them off on his fingers.
"Assume nothing. Keep your options open. Don't look back-you're
never completely alone. Only the best spies made it out of Moscow."
"I don't think my dad knew Moscow rules." Zaffer pointed a finger
at him. "Exactly." Of all the scenarios Milo had imagined taking
place the night his father died, murder wasn't one. Tim Shoemaker
didn't have any enemies. His family was still eating their way
through the freezer of casseroles and pies that had descended on
them in a blizzard of sympathy. And Valeene wasn't Detroit. Murders
in Valeene were about as common as Ferraris. And yet... murder
would absolve his father of all kinds of sins. Sloppy driving, poor
judgment, forgetfulness. Cowardice. Murder would give Milo someone
to blame. His spirits rose. The time is southeast Michigan, present
day. The auto companies are sinking faster than an SUV off Luna
Pier, and the job scene is the worst in America. But ever since his
father hired on at flourishing Wolverine Motors, Milo Shoemaker has
felt like a winner. Doesn't Wolverine make the best fire engines in
