Then her dad’s mood starts to change. He becomes forgetful and starts singing for no reason. Melody overhears strange calls at night.  “Who was on the phone?” she asks.  “Wrong number,” her dad says. Even groggy Melody knows she heard her dad say Honey. Does dad have a girlfriend? Who could it be? Why all the secrets? Join Melody and her pal Nick as they start gathering evidence and putting the pieces together. But do the pieces really fit they way they think?
