Dead Luck

Beschreibung

Private Investigator Henry Walsh and his partner, Alex, are at it again with another mystery they may not be able to solve. Could this case be their last together? Former pro football star Ray Rivers swears he had nothing to do with the death of a high school principal found dead in the boy's locker room. But the rumors won't stop, and he'd like Henry and Alex to find who's behind them. The case takes a sharp turn in the wrong direction, before they even get started, when Ray's wife is found murdered in her home. And it doesn't take long for the sheriff's office to take Ray into custody. It's hard for anyone to argue against the evidence the cops have in their hands. But Henry knows it's too soon to jump to conclusions, with so many stones left unturned. Even with his doubts, Henry promises to do whatever he can to clear Ray's name. But a shocking twist brings the case to a sudden and unexpected halt without resolution. Henry knows it'll take more than just his persistence and an uncanny ability to solve a crime when nobody else can. But this time, he'll have to go it alone. And if he's not careful, the luck he's looking for will run out before he finds it...

Autor

Gregory has written over twenty-three books, and is the author of four mystery and crime fiction series, including the Henry Walsh Private Investigator series, the US Marshal Charlie Harlow series, the Joe Sheldon crime series, and the new Jake Horn mysteries. His standalone crime novels include Drag the Man Down, Half Cocked, Danny Womack's .38, Biscayne Boogie, and a number of published short stories.He won his first award as a writer at ten years old, after sending a story to the Providence Journal about his pet husky being shot by a local farmer. The writing most likely wasn't very good, but the fact a young boy's dog was shot (true story!) tugged at the editor's heart strings just enough.His dog, luckily, survived.But that wasn't a paid gig, so years later he ended up in advertising. He eventually became a copywriter, specializing in direct mail and writing fundraising letters to help raise money for animals and children.The first book he wrote was nonfiction, but he quickly realized he wasn't smart enough to be giving anyone advice. He finally decided making up lies for a living would be much more fun.Somehow, he became an author.Raised in Providence, Rhode Island, Gregory lives with his wife, kids, and his dog, Jake, in North Carolina.
