author:  Doug Peterson 
description: Case #683--The Trouble with Larry <br /> Junior has a little problem at school: he doodles, he whispers, and well, he messes around. Now his grades are in the dumpster! But Bob and Larry are on the case, asking all-important questions. Will Junior ever pay attention in class? Will he even listen to his parents or to God? Pay close attention and you'll find the answers. (And you'll probably find them quicker than a certain detective who isn't listening very well!)

  Criminal investigator Larry Macklin faces a classic who-done-it when Conrad
  Higgins, a local antiques dealer with questionable ethics, is found shot in
  his own home.
  
  
  Larry soon realizes that half the town had reason to hate the man. Is the
  murderer the next door neighbor with an ax to grind? The friendly nursing home
  volunteer who believes Higgins swindled her mother? The rich silent partner
  with a checkered past? Or even Higgins’s nephew, who’s on the run from his own
  personal demons.
  
  
  Larry barely has time to wrap his brain around all the options when one of the
  suspects is viciously attacked and another disappears. It’s going to take all
  his skills as an investigator, and a little help from his partners and
  friends, for Larry to crack this case.
