    About this series

    The case made private eye Benjamin Wade laugh. Now, it might kill him.


    May 1940, the last days of the Great Depression, and laid-back gumshoe Ben Wade isn't exactly rolling in the dough. He doesn't even have a secretary. He's so bad off, he can't refuse any case.
    Elmer Smith is a local farmer. A few days after the police chased a hoodlum through Smith's farm, he receives a court notice: his chickens are infectious and scheduled for slaughter. Desperate to save his livelihood, Smith hires a lawyer to slow the process, but time is running out. 


    With his coffers nearly empty, Wade suppresses his pride and takes the case. Curiously, the police have no record of the incident. The nervous health inspector is suddenly evasive. And the inspector's beautiful secretary thinks she's being followed and seeks Wade's help. 
    To unravel the mystery, Wade obsesses on the central question: What really happened the night police chased someone through Smith's chicken coop? Wade isn't the only one asking the question, but he might be the only one who dies for it.

      When bullets burst through a door, unarmed gumshoe Benjamin Wade knows two things: his case just got a hell of a lot more difficult. And duck! The smoke clears, the shooter escapes, and Wade finds a corpse. It's the reporter he was hired to find. His client would not be happy. Beguiling and enigmatic Lillian Saxton hired Wade to locate the missing reporter who claimed to possess information she craved: whether or not her brother had died in Europe during the early days of World War II. The reporter vanished soon after his ship docked in Houston and she's desperate. Wade, a laid back former cop, accepts cases so mundane he rarely carries a gun. Now, Wade must unravel the truth about the reporter's murder and the cache of missing documents that reveal a shocking story from Nazi-controlled Europe and an even more sinister secret on the home front.
