Secrets and Lie — Renee Pawlish

From an Amazon #1 Bestselling Author - over 1 million books in circulation. Secrets and Lies The past has a way of coming back with a vengeance. On an October day in 1949, private eye Dewey Webb's life is turned upside-down when his long-lost father shows up and asks for Dewey's help. It seems simple: find Gus's friend Len. But is there more to this request than Gus is saying? Dewey puts aside his bitter feelings for the father who abandoned him as a child and begins a hunt for Len, but discovers that Gus and Len have been involved in dangerous illegal activities, and that one of their targets may be after the two men. Things take a murderous turn and Dewey finds himself rubbing elbows with Denver's wealthy and powerful elite while dodging mobsters and searching for his father, who has gone missing. Can Dewey unravel a myriad of secrets and lies to find a killer before he strikes again? A hard-boiled, historical mystery that's great for fans who love a traditional detective crime story with a noir flavor, but without a lot of sex or swearing. Dewey Webb first appeared in the Reed Ferguson mystery, Back Story. Pick up a copy of Back Story to find out more about this classic hard-boiled detective. The Dewey Webb historical mystery series: • Book 1: Web of Deceit • Book 2: Murder In Fashion • Book 2: Secrets and Lies Great Reviews for the Reed Ferguson private investigator series: Kirkus Reviews: The promising kickoff to Pawlish's comic mystery series, starring far-from-perfect PI Reed Ferguson. Pawlish earns high marks for plot construction, with twists and turns naturally unfolding as Ferguson, inexperienced but not incapable, feels his way through the case. A good-humored mystery series worth following. 5 star review: Oh how I've missed the Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe characters that saw me with a flashlight in the dead of night flipping pages to see what happened next. Thank you Ms. Pawlish for bringing back to life this long-lost art of the detective battling against all odds and getting to the bottom of things. - Maureen with zencherry book reviews The Reed Ferguson mystery series: • Book 1: This Doesn't Happen In The Movies • Book 2: Reel Estate Rip-off • Book 3: The Maltese Felon • Book 4: Farewell, My Deuce • Book 5: Out Of The Past • Book 6: Torch Scene • Book 7: The Lady Who Sang High • Book 8: Sweet Smell Of Sucrets • Book 9: The Third Fan • Book 10: Back Story • Book 11: Night of the Hunted • Book 12: The Postman Always Brings Dice • Book 13: Road Blocked • Book 14: Small Town Focus • Book 15: coming soon • Kindle Worlds Novella: Walk Softly, Danger • short story: Elvis And The Sports Card Cheat • short story: A Gun For Hire Private Investigator Mystery Series Categories: - Mystery Series - Private Investigator Series - Crime Fiction - Crime Series - Private Detective Novels - historical mystery, thriller & suspense fiction - pulp - hard-boiled - noir - detective - private eye - traditional - historical mysteries
