Something Rotten: A
Horatio Wilkes Mystery by Alan
Gratz
During a school
vacation, Horatio Wilkes accompanies his
buddy Hamilton Prince to Denmark,
Tennessee. Just two months after his
father passed away under suspicious
circumstances, Hamilton's Uncle Claude has
married Hamilton's mother. Claude now
controls the Elsinore Paper Plant, a
multibillion dollar company blatantly
polluting the Copenhagen River. Horatio,
with a knack for investigating, is
determined to expose Claude's corruption
while Hamilton, dismayed by what he
believes is his mother's betrayal, drowns
himself in alcohol. Ultimately, Horatio
relies on environmentalist protester
Olivia to reveal secrets about Elsinore
and bring the corrupters to
justice.
The book of the week is
available for check out at the library
circulation desk.
