From an Amazon #1 Bestselling Author - over 1 million books in circulation. "This series just keeps on getting better." - Amazon review When Darcy Cranston asks her friend Reed Ferguson, a Denver private investigator, to talk to her boyfriend, who she suspects is cheating on her, Reed hesitates. It’s not really an investigation, but he’s a sucker for a damsel in distress, so he agrees to help. However, when Reed visits Darcy’s boyfriend, Jerrod Rhodman, he finds that Jerrod might not be as innocent as he’s portraying himself. Then Jerrod goes missing, and Reed suddenly finds himself embroiled in a life-and-death case. A Gun for Hire is a humorous mystery with plenty of suspense that will keep you turning pages. Note: This is an 11,000-word short story in the Reed Ferguson mystery series. It is set after Road Blocked. More Great Reviews of this private investigator series: Kirkus Reviews: The promising kickoff to Pawlish's comic mystery series, starring far-from-perfect private investigator 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.
