 My teaser from page 36 in the paperback.

Find my daughter, he’d said. Then he’d paid me. Was I now on a case for a missing girl?

I’d never worked for a dead man before.

Read on if you want to know more.

Synopsis

Private investigator Eddie Shoes heads to a resort outside Leavenworth, Washington, for a mother-daughter getaway weekend. Eddie’s mother Chava wants to celebrate her new job at a casino by footing the bill for the two of them, and who is Eddie to say no?
On the first morning, Eddie goes on an easy solo hike, and a few hours later, stumbles upon a makeshift campsite and a gravely injured man. A forest fire breaks out and she struggles to save him before the flames overcome them both. Before succumbing to his injuries, the man hands her a valuable rosary. He tells her his daughter is missing and begs for her help. Is Eddie now working for a dead man?
Barely escaping the fire, Eddie wakes in the hospital to find both her parents have arrived on the scene. Will Eddie’s card-counting mother and mob-connected father help or hinder the investigation? The police search in vain for a body. How will Eddie find the missing girl with only Eddie’s memory of the man’s face and a photo of his daughter to go on?
Book 3 in the Eddie Shoes Mystery Series, which began with One Dead, Two to Go.

  5. That’s a great little teaser. I am curious as to what happened to the daughter now.

  6. Okay, I am intrigued! 🙂

  7. Well, that’s sure piqued my interest. Great teaser! Thank you for sharing! My teaser is from Phoenix Fire by S.D. Grimm

  8. Alice Audrey says:

    I was wondering how a ghost pays. A rosary it totally appropriate.

  9. Yvonne says:

    This sounds really good.

  10. Well, that is a very different situation regarding a case! Awesome teaser! Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!

  11. This one sounds like just my kind of read and another new to me author to check out. Although I did have a chuckle when I read this was an ‘Eddie Shoes’ mystery.

    Way back in the 1970s, there was a television series, set down here in my neck of the woods in southern England, about a former computer expert turned private detective, called ‘Eddie Shoestring’ (The male form of Eddie).

    Checking this series out brought back loads of memories for me…
