The rain will not quit, for one thing, and a mudslide the year before had killed three people. There'd been hardly any snow for two winters, and fishermen were catching tuna in warming waters. A young mother was missing and presumed dead. Cecil tells the judges, "I like to think that on that first morning I knew everything was about to go sideways. Readers will see that Cecil is a truthful and generally well-meaning man who made a whole series of very bad choices and decisions.
Some of these are inexplicably bad and may cause readers to wonder about Cecil's overall judgment and mental health. Certainly he illustrates the cascading effect of one bad choice leading to another and another as he seeks to "fix" earlier mistakes. The action driven by all this keeps the story moving along briskly.
Winter 2020
Cecil is an acute observer, and many of Straley's descriptive passages are close to poetry. In Sitka, in the September being spoken of, "The rain was falling like BBs on our shoulders as we made our way past the Russian cathedral in the middle of town, and a raven sat perched on the lip of a black garbage can laughing at us as we passed. Before recently retiring, Straley himself spent thirty years as a criminal defense investigator in Sitka.
His considerable experience with the downtrodden and criminal class is on display here, along with his expertise involving the legal and judicial systems. When one of Cecil's "frequent flyer" clients stops in, they discuss "motions on your stop. To drunk drivers, the law on illegal stops is like the Magna Carta, right behind the sacred second amendment right to carry weapons at all times. While readers will find sympathetic characters and laugh-out-loud humor in "Baby's First Felony," there is also a disturbing darkness to this violence-fueled story.
Several gruesome murders fill the pages, along with episodes of kidnapping, child sexual abuse, dismembering, police corruption, drug manufacturing and trafficking, the use of explosives, and general mayhem. The intriguing title, "Baby's First Felony," we learn, comes from a self-help book that Cecil's public-defender boss is putting together for "intellectually challenged criminals.
During the gap between Cecil Younger novels, Straley was not an idle writer. He is also the author of the poetry collection "The Rising and the Rain," four books of haiku one for each season , parts of a nonfiction book about Ed "Doc" Ricketts a pioneer in intertidal ecology , and the novels "Cold Storage Alaska" the first in what is to be a new crime series and "The Big Both Ways.
