Block Party (From the Tales of Dan Coast)

Beach View Street's block party is rapidly approaching, and Dan Coast doesn't have enough hours in his day to get everything done that needs to be done. Cat Man's parents are missing and so is his minivan. Luckily, the minivan is returned. Unluckily, there was something left inside. Gene and Peg Coast are back in town. They wouldn't miss the block party for the world. Of course, they've rented their house to tourists, so they'll be staying with Dan and Maxine.

Block Party, the twenty-third book in the Dan Coast Series, also finds Dan and Red investigating a murder that took place in the late-seventies. They soon discover how difficult that is when the convicted killer and the only witness died long ago.
