Shelby Baker and his sister Hailey discover a briefcase full of trouble in a junked Cadillac at their father's family garage. It's a chunk of change a pair of bank robbers wants returned. What they don't find sewn in the liner is the gems a California mafia boss wants- or else. The FBI is not far behind. When all three collide at the Baker's garage none are prepared for Hailey's lead-foot driving nor Shelby's klutzy ability to unwittingly create hilarious mayhem. In a twist it is Hercules, the unwanted garage mouse; who saves the Bakers, foils the bank robbers and puts a dangerous mafia boss behind bars...well sort of.
Based on the author's own hometown of Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania; Shelby is a mix of local smalltown history, a fictional comical storyline and a hint of innocent romance.
