Boys Who Never Met The Boss, Vol.1: AVAILABLE

Fifteen-year-old Milo Kessler is good at hearing what other people miss: a failing relay, a carefully worded lie, an opportunity hidden inside a private message.When a quiet recruiter pays Milo's debts and offers him fourteen thousand dollars for two nights of work across the state line, the assignment sounds simple - watch a house, confront a thief, keep the door open.Then the wrong boy answers.Detective Dan Rook has been tracking a new kind of criminal network: no gang, no initiation, and no boss its youngest recruits have ever met. Every job is divided among strangers. One person finds an address. Another supplies a vehicle. Another delivers an instruction vague enough to deny later.As Milo is pulled deeper into the consequences of one irreversible decision, Dan follows the money from anonymous accounts and disposable phones to consultants, corporate invoices, and men who believe distance can protect them from responsibility.Everyone claims they handled only one small piece.But a boy is dead - and someone must be made to hold the whole thing.
