Castles of Deceit
Castles Harbor Deadly Secrets
Another wry humor novel about America's most loved PI, Dun Wheeling. The third in the series, Castles of Deceit puts Dun in the middle of another entanglement of mystery, action, and romance.
A teenage prostitute that barely escapes a nationwide web of drug and sex slavery, a voluptuous vampiresss more interested in sex with Dun than his blood, a White House official suspected of espionage, a non-profit school that will kill to keep its secrets, mysterious killers out to force Dun off the road--all this as Dun puts his ass on the line for the President. And loses.
An excerpt from Castles of Deceit (not so serious)
As Dun stepped through the door, he stopped and had to catch his breath. Flowing across the office floor like a ghost on water was Vanessa. She was dressed in a high-necked collared gown that seemed to be cut from a soft silky material. Sleeveless, with the arm openings cut back almost to her neck, it had snaps on one shoulder and the collar for dressing.
Like her previous dress, it was all white, with a long slit running down the outside of her right leg. And as before, it fit like cling wrap on top and flared just a little below the knee. In the front, a long upside-down V opening began below her throat and extended down slightly below her breast line, stopping in a wide scalloped edge the bottom. It was just wide enough to enhance the image of her more than ample cleavage. He was afraid to see what the back of the dress covered, but couldn't wait to find out.
..... And he found out what the back of her dress covered--not much. But what it did cover looked wonderful when it moved.
An excerpt on the serious side
The other car was suddenly right on his tail. While it didn't look it from a distance, the car behind him was apparently built for street racing. As Dun glanced out the rear window, he noticed the large air scoop on the engine hood. Not a good sign when you're trying to escape in a stock Camry.....
He was trying to decide what to do next when a bullet smashed through his rear window and ripped into the dash just to his right....
As you can see, Dun is right up to his armpits in trouble again, and forced to deal with women out to snare him into their web of seduction.
