Merry and Cooper investigate an old jewel heist rumored
to involve Merry's uncle and Cooper's dad. With the convicted thieves now
released from prison, Merry and Cooper fight to save their families.
All my life I waited for someone to talk about my Uncle
Frankie, but after twelve whole years of waiting, I gave up. Because no one
ever did.
No one.
Ever.
It’s like it’s forbidden or something. So when I heard
Cooper’s Aunt Eleanor say Uncle Frankie’s name, I about fell over. Good thing I
didn’t though because I had a fruit tray balanced in each hand and the inside
of my mom’s catering van would have been an awful mess.
As I steadied the trays, Catering Rule #1--know who
you’re serving--kicked into high gear and my ears perked right up as my best
friend’s aunt talked about my uncle. You see, I was serving Cooper’s Aunt
Eleanor at an outdoor wedding reception. Unfortunately, I also know her. My dad
likes to say, “Some people don’t know when to keep their trap shut,” and
Cooper’s Aunt Eleanor is definitely one of those people.
