Secrets and Lies

A Dewey Webb Mystery, Book 3

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?

heartbreaking truths

What an empty feeling I had at the end of the story. I empathized with Dewey. He goes out of his way to help and almost gets killed for his troubles and his dad shows his true colors AGAIN! The kid inside us wants to hope for change and better, but the adult.in us knows better. When people show you who they are believe them! I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.

Good ?Mystery & Narration

Dewey Webb a man calls out to him, can’t call him father, so Gus will have to do. Wants me to find a friend of his, they work together, when there is work. Asking why should he help him, because your a detective and my son. Feeling his father wasn’t telling him the whole truth, turns out they were dealing with mobs, gamblers. You learn about Dewey, he goes that extra mike even for his father, who left the family. His stories have that old touch to them of beating on doors, pounding the pavement. Another good mystery to enjoy.
