Lewis Hurdy: and a Little Bit of Greed

By Cameron McVey

A missing man. A murdered town patriarch. And a legend of buried gold that refuses to stay buried.

Lewis Hurdy prefers his life quiet and predictable. He works at the local library, spends Thursday nights competing in trivia, and secretly writes a successful mystery series under a woman's name. But life in the mountain town of Puma Springs stops feeling predictable when prominent resident Wellmer Evenston is found dead in his truck.

Then the library director disappears.

The two events appear connected to a collection of historical ledgers, a missing page, and an old story about gold hidden somewhere near an abandoned mining settlement. As greed takes hold and suspicion spreads through town, Lewis begins investigating alongside Eliza Claremont, an intriguing newcomer with questions-and secrets-of her own.

Every clue draws Lewis deeper into a tangled history of family feuds, false identities, secret messages, and friendships that may not be what they seem. To discover who killed Wellmer, Lewis must separate fact from local legend before someone else disappears-or decides that the curious library worker knows far too much.

Lewis Hurdy and a Little Bit of Greed is a witty, character-driven small-town mystery filled with eccentric suspects, buried secrets, unexpected romance, and just enough danger to make an amateur detective reconsider his career choices.
