Where Phantoms Tread: A Detective Lyle Odell Novel

By Paul John Hausleben

Murder Mystery Detective series Crime-drama and who-done-it?
In the shadowy depths of Mohawk City, a place where secrets are as common as the mist that rises from its gritty streets, Homicide Detective Lyle Odell is the reluctant guardian of truth. Known for his unkempt appearance and preference for black coffee, Irish whiskey, cigarettes, and pizza, Odell is a brilliant but haunted figure, grappling with his own demons even as he hunts the more insidious ones lurking in the city.

When the glamorous young socialite from one of Mohawk City's most affluent families is discovered dead in a luxury hotel, her tragic end appears to be a simple case of excess-a drunken adventure mixed with drugs gone wrong. But as Odell investigates, he realizes that beneath the surface of this sordid tale lies a complicated web of deceit, ambition, and a darker truth waiting to be unveiled.

Haunted by his past and battling the ghosts that linger at every turn, Odell must navigate a treacherous world filled with powerful political figures and hidden agendas. As the stakes escalate, he finds himself embroiled in a race against time, where the city he knows all too well threatens to consume him.

In "Where Phantoms Tread," readers will experience a gripping blend of tension and pathos as Odell delves deeper into the heart of Mohawk City's secrets. Will he uncover the truth lurking in the shadows? Join Detective Odell on a thrilling journey that challenges not only his skills as a detective but also his very understanding of justice, morality, and redemption. As he confronts the phantoms of his past and the evils of his present, you'll be left questioning: how much darkness can one man bear, and how far will he go for the truth?

Prepare for a twisting narrative that promises to keep you on the edge of your seat, breathing life into a tale of loss, identity, and the relentless pursuit of justice. Welcome to Mohawk City, where the line between right and wrong is blurred, and every corner could hide a phantom waiting to tread.
