Luck be a Lady: A small town cozy mystery.

By Deryn Pittar

Meet Charles Paterson, a seasoned Private Investigator with a unique twist--he's battling agoraphobia, a fear that keeps him locked within the confines of his own home. But don't mistake his condition for weakness; it's merely a hurdle he's determined to overcome. In a bid to reclaim his life, Charles adopts Lady, a rescue dog whose companionship becomes his lifeline. With Lady by his side, he plunges back into the world of crime-solving, taking on seemingly routine cases--a missing wife, a lost dog, a suspected cheating husband. Yet, beneath the surface of these bread-and-butter cases lie dark secrets waiting to be unearthed. Is the missing wife truly a wife, or is there something more sinister at play? And could a murder have slipped under the radar? As Charles grapples with vertigo attacks and crippling terror, he finds an unexpected source of strength in Lady's unwavering support. But just when he thinks he's gaining ground, his ex-wife resurfaces, demanding money and stirring up old wounds. Will Charles succumb to his fears, or will he muster the courage to confront the shadows of his past and uncover the truth? Luck Be a Lady is a tale of resilience, redemption, and the unbreakable bond between man and canine. Join Charles and Lady through twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end.
