GRAVE NOTES ON AURELIA

About the Book

Ruzena, an aged ex-vaudeville actress, sees and accuses thirteen-year-old Muggs of shoplifting. After learning that she lives alone on the first floor of her three-story home, Muggs, while pursued by a cop, slips into her house, sneaks upstairs, and takes refuge as a secret squatter. Disaster strikes when he discovers the murdered body of the cleaning lady, Aurelia, in the attic. Ruzena and Muggs, now both suspects, become bonded in friendship as they struggle to prove their innocence.
