About the Book
Wink of an Eye
Winner of the Minotaur Books/PWA Best First Private Eye Novel Competition, where a trip to Texas means getting roped into a case of murder and police corruption
On the run from a double-cross, Las Vegas private investigator Gypsy Moran shows up unexpectedly at his sister Rhonda's house in Wink, Texas. She introduces Gypsy to one of her former students, 12-year-old Tatum McCallen, who is in need of Gypsy's services. Tatum wants to hire Gypsy to investigate his father Ryce's alleged suicide. His dad was a deputy with the Sheriff's department and was found hanged in their backyard. Tatum believes his father was murdered after he went inquiring after the disappearance of several teenage girls, all undocumented immigrants. Against his better judgment, Gypsy agrees to snoop around to see what he can find. Between dealing with his now married high school sweetheart, a sexy reporter and hostile police officers, Gypsy has his work cut out for him.
WINK OF AN EYE is a strong addition to a long list of PWA Competition winners that includes Steve Hamilton and Michael Koryta.
