Genre: Mystery & Thrillers

FREE for a limited time

When beautiful Bonita Esquivez hires P.I. Clay Webster to find her husband, Lucky, Clay expects an easy missing-person case. But when Bonita bites a poisoned bonbon, more than a quick buck is at stake. Clay needs to establish exactly who Lucky is and determine if his client could be lying to him.

Fifty-five-year-old Clay Webster knows pain; he lost his thirty-year marriage, his son, Sean, and his twenty-eight-year police career. Trying to build a new life, his wit is his weapon, and humor is his first line of defense against life’s assaults. His search for Lucky centers primarily on Lowell, Massachusetts, where he tries to save a drowning teenager in a canal and hires yet another teenager, Denton La Rock Junior, who has been making prank phone calls to his home. Clay looks for links between Lucky and A Touch of Love, the new porn shop in town.

Meanwhile, Senator Carleton Swinburne rails against the city’s perceived moral decay, personifi ed partly by ex-cops such as Clay Webster. Perhaps Chantal Ladoute, Clay’s old friend the ex-nun, will be his moral gyroscope as he navigates an increasingly dangerous course.

Junior Size Faith
by Neasha Hill
4.9 Out of 5 Stars (11 Reviews)
Genre: Religious Fiction | Romance

FREE for a limited time

This town had sat undisturbed and silent for so long, each little house draped in a monotonous, predictable fog. The fog said to passersby that life was just what it was; expect no more. That was exactly what they expected, no more than they already had. Most of the people in the town were perfectly content with the amount of faith they had, which in most cases only consisted of religion that was routine, and they never strove for their own personal relationship with Christ. They showed up to church to be seen, and when the congregation dispersed and spilled out onto the streets, they left what they heard within the church walls. This small rural community had small town behavior, dusted with occasional small town drama, not to make these people seem simple because they were anything but simple folk. What had turned these people into the sleepy town it has become? They had become comfortable in their small repetitive routines and traditions. The fear of God and His sovereignty had dissipated, and the mundane conventional thinking had seeped into every facet of their lives. It had interfered with their worship and faith. They were no longer functioning with a conviction they once shared as a community.
