About this ebook

A sequel to A Small Deception (2010), A Tangled Web is an action-packed murder mystery, love story, and spiritual quest. Marton Wynn, a devout Christian, is suffering from grief at the loss of his wife, Maggie, when he learns that her mother, Sylvia Coleman, has died. He returns to Vista, Texas, with his daughter to collect her inheritance. Although the medical examiner has ruled Sylvia’s death accidental, Marton soon suspects foul play when he finds Sylvia’s computer, which lists the names of persons she thought wanted to kill her. Their motives include economic self-interest, criminal exposure, sexism, and racism. In his attempt to find out who killed Sylvia, he is aided by three females: Ayla, a beautiful African American, is a victim of spousal infidelity and racism; Lacey, a precocious part-Afghan preteen, is a victim of parental neglect and racism; Rita, a successful entrepreneur, is a victim of homophobia and rape.

Together, they attempt to accomplish dangerous rescues to solve Sylvia’s murder. In the process, they also attempt to resolve the faith struggles that hamper their relationship with God.
