    About this ebook

    Max Rust: Fifth Grade baseball star. Boy Scout. Altar boy. Private Eye. It's that last part Melanie Olive is interested in when she hires Max to track down her missing report on Saint Jude the Apostle. Max finds himself up against the Catholic parochial education system. It's certainly not the first time. With the help of his nervous best friend Danny, and the divinely knowledgeable Priest, Father Dolan, Max lives and operates in the underbelly of the school and the Church; where few are willing to go. Where Max Rust is right at home.
