Summary: The problem with solving big, flashy
cases and going international is that you become
well-known. Word came down about everything the
Dead Boy Detectives managed to do in Port
Townsend, and they have never been busier. The
problem with becoming more well-known is that
you don't always draw the kind of attention you
want. You might jump onto the radar of someone
with a grudge just looking for an excuse.

himself that Charles meant it when he said

pass the time?

want to leave his mom, and finding a sense
of purpose is something even the dead need
to do.
