A gripping historical mystery set in the shadows of post-World War II America.

Denver, 1949. The war may be over, but its ghosts refuse to rest, haunting the hearts and minds of those it touched. Private investigator Dewey Webb knows this all too well—his own wartime scars are buried deep beneath a stoic demeanor, some hidden even from himself.

Dewey is halfway through his lunch at a quiet diner when Gordon Sandalwood appears, hovering uncertainly near his table. Gordon’s hesitation is plain—this is not a man used to asking for help. But desperation wins out, and soon he’s spilling his worries about his wife Edith’s secretive behavior. There’s something she’s not telling him, something that doesn’t add up.

Dewey reluctantly agrees to help, expecting another routine domestic case. But what begins as a mundane job takes a dark turn when Edith meets a man in secret—and everything changes. As he digs deeper, Dewey unearths a tangle of secrets stretching back to the war, secrets that threaten not just Gordon’s marriage but lives. Each clue pulls Dewey further into a web of deceit, danger, and lies, where the stakes are more than personal—they’re deadly.

In the vein of hard-boiled classics like Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade, Web of Deceit delivers a heart-pounding tale of trust, betrayal, and redemption that will keep you hooked until the final twist.
