He didnt take the gig at the local rag for its bustling crime beat. Hed sacrifice a career-making story for happy hour at the pub, but not even he can let a grisly murder through to the keeper. Especially when he keeps getting scooped by a persistent kid with a disposable Kodak.. Lifes tough for eleven-year-old Matty Finnerty. His mothers gone, his fathers gone most of the time and, as hard as he tries, he just cant get the kids at school to like him.
