In this book the author set up two conflict, one which is the case that Johnny starting with, and other is about his father’s death.

The author set up a characterization similar with narrative who know everything in the book, and she safety The author let she safe Johnny so that Johnny can keep going on the solve the unsolved problem, and finish the justice about his father and himself.

In the book “It’s not much to go on, I know. But, like I say, I ‘m working on it.” The reader can infer this as cliffhanger that he need to solve it even though he have little clue, and this is what the author think what is the value of justice.

Johnny really want to find out who killed his father but he know it is been to long and he is became a private detective now he believe himself if he keep digging he will found out, and by using the characterization will show the reader see how it is reality back then. The author conflict shows that reader, that one side speak is not enough for the justice explame that Johnny get trap and blame by murder but at least he find the evidence to proof his is not murder. ...more "
