"Phineas Fletcher is down-home fresh. I didn't want to stop reading. What happens next is always a surprise." - D.G. PHINEAS FLETCHER is a middle-aged widower living in Spencer's Mill, Ohio, in 1887, retired but bored and looking for excitement. We first met him as a minor character in the novel, "Teacups and Lies." In the sequel, "The Rippling Effect," he stumbled onto a new line of work: private investigator. The rush it gave him was intoxicating. Now, in this collection of seven adventures, he stars as an inventive, humorous, but compassionate investigator who finds himself called on to solve all kinds of dilemmas he never expected. You'll enjoy the danger, intrigue, and romance as he looks to his faith for wisdom and protection.

As for you, the reader...you never saw that twist coming!
