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 a man with a loathsome reputation found in the alleyway near Hank's house.Violet begs her older sisters, Eve and Helena, to help solve the crime with the blessing of Gyver's new district attorney and despite the town sheriff's objections.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!
