[Benjamin Wade 01] • Wading Into War

What does a dead body in World War II-era Houston have to do with Nazi Germany when the United States isn't even at war?

WADING INTO WAR, "...an excellent period private eye yarn with a great pace," according to James Reasoner, author of TEXAS WIND, provides the breathless answer.

Houston, 1940. Benjamin Wade is a laid back private investigator whose jobs are so mundane that he doesn't even carry a gun. He thought his latest job was going to be easy.

He thought wrong.

Hired by beguiling Lillian Saxton to find a missing reporter with knowledge of her brother’s whereabouts in war-torn Europe, Wade follows a lead and knocks on a door. He gets two answers: bullets and a corpse.

Now Wade must unravel the truth about the reporter’s death to reveal a shocking story from Nazi-controlled Europe and expose an even more sinister secret here at home.

"[Parker] nails the setting and the time period as well. Highly recommended." -- James Reasoner
