Secrets of Belltown — T.M. Murphy

When one of Belltown's oldest residents is found dead, the police write it off as an accidental fall. But Orville Jacques, a 16-year-old part-time sleuth, just can't swallow that explanation, so he decides to do a little investigating himself. In the process Orville finds more than murder in this small seaside town on Cape Cod. He finds theft, greed, young love, danger, and most of all the insidious secrets of Belltown.
