About this ebook

He knows he’s more than just another washed-up ex-cop. Solving a murder will help him prove it...


A straight-shooter who lives on his boat and likes a drink or two, Henry’s frustrated he can't even land work as a dispatcher. And his job running security for a local baseball team is far from his idea of excitement.


But it pays the bills.


The morning after the season ends, Henry’s at his friend’s bar with a Bloody Mary in one hand and a phone in the other. He takes a call that could change everything...


Turns out a couple of fishermen pulled third baseman Lance Moreau’s body from the St. Johns River. And his teammate's been arrested for the murder.


The team's owner turns to Henry to help prove the cops have the wrong man. 


Henry knows working security in an empty ballpark is one thing. But investigating a murder?


It won’t be easy.


Lucky for him he has Alex Jepson on his side. She’s beautiful. She’s tough. And as Henry likes to say...she’s the one with the brains.


They’re a good match, in more ways than one.


Now all they have to do is find the real killer...

Good but just weird that some chapters ended without a conclusion and the next didn't necessarily pick up where that one left off. Okay but just weird. overall I enjoyed the book. No bad language ... a good clean mystery.

Dead at Third is the first book in the Henry Walsh Private Investigator Series and is a great start to this new series. I really enjoyed reading this story and found it to be a well written and interesting read. With well-developed characters and murder, mystery, suspense, twists, and intrigue, this book captured from the first page and kept it to the last. This is the first book I have read by this author and I look forward to reading more. I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.
