Dedication:
Crime was out there. Undetected. Unseen. She hpoped she wouldn't be too late. The bus driver was keeping the bus at a steady 15mph, breaking at every appproaching green light until it turned red. She closed her eyes and continued the journey in her head as slowly as she could. She opened them but still the bus lagged far behind her worst projection. Pedestrians overtook them, the driver whistled.

In the 1980s, Kate Meaney — “Top Secret” notebook and toy monkey in tow — is hard at work as a junior detective. Busy trailing “suspects” and carefully observing everything around her at the newly opened Green Oaks shopping mall, she forms an unlikely friendship with Adrian, the son of a local shopkeeper. But when this curious, independent-spirited young girl disappears, Adrian falls under suspicion and is hounded out of his home by the press.
