Second Chance
(2017)(The eighth book in the Dewey Webb Historical Mystery series)
A Story by Renée Pawlish
Dewey Webb appears in his first short story!
Bartender Jerry Manco worries that his son Angelo is up to no good - not for the first time - and he asks for Denver private investigator Dewey Webb's help. Dewey follows a series of leads and finds that Angelo's embroiled in a dangerous situation, and Dewey will have to use all his skills to save him.
Note: This is a 10,000-word short in the Dewey Webb historical mystery series. It is set after Secrets and Lies in the timeline.
A hard-boiled, historical mystery short story that's great for fans who love a traditional detective crime story with a noir flavor, but without a lot of sex or swearing.
Dewey Webb first appeared in the Reed Ferguson mystery, Back Story. Pick up a copy of Back Story to find out more about this classic hard-boiled detective.

Great Reviews for the Reed Ferguson private investigator series:
Kirkus Reviews:
The promising kickoff to Pawlish's comic mystery series, starring far-from-perfect PI Reed Ferguson. Pawlish earns high marks for plot construction, with twists and turns naturally unfolding as Ferguson, inexperienced but not incapable, feels his way through the case. A good-humored mystery series worth following.
5 star review:
Oh how I've missed the Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe characters that saw me with a flashlight in the dead of night flipping pages to see what happened next. Thank you Ms. Pawlish for bringing back to life this long-lost art of the detective battling against all odds and getting to the bottom of things.
