Guarding Lacey: A Smokey Dalton Story

Private detective Smokey Dalton does his best to protect his adopted family, from his 11-year-old son Jimmy to his friends, the Grimshaws. But Smokey canâ€™t see everything. Jimmy notices that Lacey Grimshawâ€”â€œthirteen going on trouble,â€ Smokey saysâ€”skips school to hang out with an adult man. Jimmy doesnâ€™t want to tattle, but heâ€™s worried about Lacey. So he pretends heâ€™s Smokey, and follows her, learning secrets that will change himâ€”and Laceyâ€”forever.
