Just as not all mysteries are killings, and not all killings are mysteries, not all mystery stories are told the same way. These are the stories of an ordinary group of people involved in extraordinary circumstances. Hooker, Hieronymus Octavius O'Keefer, is a tow truck driver with a collected family of retired detectives, cops, radio dispatchers, blind disc jockey, nurses, and a twenty-pound cat named Box.
