  people not happy with the questions Bernie is asking. 
   
  Bernie soon learns that he misunderstood much about his high school years—and now, Chet and Bernie are plunged into a dangerous case where the past isn’t dead and the future could be fatal.

  Millionaire Beggar

  There are countless books about how to become a millionaire, but this book isn’t one of them. In fact, "Millionaire Beggar" takes you on a journey where riches and rags sit down for a cup of tea, laugh about life’s absurdities, and swap stories about how overrated both wealth and poverty really are. This isn’t a guide to getting rich, nor is it a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of chasing money. Instead, it’s a humorous exploration of what happens when a man who has everything decides to give it all up — not for some noble cause, but because he thought it’d be more fun to sit on a park bench with a sign that says “Spare change?” 
  Why write about such an unusual character? Because in a world where success is measured by the number of zeros in your bank account, I thought it’d be refreshing to dive into a life where a millionaire trades in his tailored suits for second-hand trousers and a cardboard sign. This book is an invitation to laugh at the things we take too seriously, especially money. It’s about flipping the script on what it means to be successful, and most importantly, it’s about the simple joys that come from stepping out of society’s rat race and embracing the bizarre — in style. 
  So, as you read, don’t worry about the moral of the story or the “right way” to live your life. Let’s just enjoy the chaos, the humour, and the adventure of a man who proves that, sometimes, being rich isn’t nearly as entertaining as sitting on the street with a sign that says, “Will beg for laughs.”

  To his chagrin, Alaskan PI Cecil Younger learns his teenage daughter has launched her own detective agency. But when her first case goes awry, she’s going to need some help from an unlikely source: her father, who’s currently locked up in prison. 
    
  The verdict from the three-judge panel is in. Cecil Younger, bumbling criminal defense investigator and totally embarrassing father, has been sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison for his involvement in … well, a number of things, ranging from destruction of private property to killing a guy. But compared to the original twenty-five-year sentence, it’s not so bad. His success with getting his sentence reduced has attracted the attention of his fellow inmates, and one man, “Fourth Street,” reaches out for advice for his upcoming parole hearing in exchange for protection and companionship. 
    
  When he isn’t reading Adrienne Rich or James Baldwin with Fourth Street, Cecil spends his time filling up large yellow legal pads. He writes, mostly, about his teenage daughter, Blossom, who is on a Nancy Drew–like quest to help her friend, George, discover the truth about her biological parents, which turns out to be complicated. Shortly after submitting a mail-in genetics test, George learns she is the infamous “Baby Jane Doe” who was kidnapped from her Native mother shortly after she was born. A media and legal circus quickly ensues, and George’s reunion with her birth family isn’t the heartwarming story the journalists hoped it would be. There is an even darker secret about the baby-snatching case, a secret threatens to destroy not just George’s family—but Cecil’s as well.
