Pulliam: Indianapolis is backdrop in Maurice Broaddus' novel about a young private eye.

At his day job Maurice Broaddus serves middle school students at Oaks Academy in Indianapolis, as librarian, mentor and teacher.

Bella feels the mom and dad loss, though she senses her mother’s love too. People close to her, early in life, have let her down. She assumes that others will too. “I know better than to allow people to get close to me. That isn’t safe,” she says as the story’s narrator. The author includes other real-life angles in Indy, such as the more affluent Golden Hill neighborhood or a social event at the Columbia Club on the downtown Circle.

As she grows in trust for some older mentors, one of them takes her into her safe home. There she finds a narrow escape from getting lost in the worst side of the foster care system.
