You could say that Evelyn Finton was indeed a goody-two-shoe’s.
She was a good kid, always has been the ideal daughter. She
was the type of girl who does her homework on a Friday night rather than going
out with her friends. She had nice smile, blue eyes, blonde hair with dark
brown streaks, and has a charming personality, she was a shy girl. She’d rather
stay in the library all day than attend to a prom. No, she wasn’t a loner. She
had friends, she even had a boyfriend. But then Evelyn Finton’s happy school
life leads to a murder.
It is now up to Detective Vincent Flair to solve the case.
First he has to get good inkling about the murdered victim ad come up with
possible suspects. But what the good detective thought was a standard investigation
takes a dark turn when stupefying evidence comes to light. Now Detective Flair
can either keep it simple or do what is right.

Chicago Typewriter
As Detective Drew Lucy typed up the report on the Waterton case the pretty ankle slipped into his line of sight. It was shaped like trouble. The chief's sixteen-year-old daughter Millie was worried about her brother, Ike, who had started to disappear some nights. The chief could fire Drew for messing with family business, but Drew reluctantly agrees to tail Ike. The trail leads to a speakeasy and the mushrooming business of organized crime during Prohibition in Chicago. Clues from the Ebony Gardens murder point to the same gang, but the gangsters can smell Drew coming, and bullets are cheap. By the time Drew enters the seductive orbit of a mink-eyed vixen addicted to risk, he's in over his head. If he isn't shot full of daylight by gangster tommy guns, he'll drown in Bianca's perfumed embrace. It's enough to make a gumshoe readjust his fedora. ----- This noir flavored detective yarn is set 100 years back in time. It's a bit grittier than my usual breezy output. This story is basically clean and I did not flag it as mature. However, darker human failings (alcohol use, sexual desire, and violence) drive the plot. I don't dwell on those aspects, but it's definitely a story for grownups. The intended audience is new adult or adult. Winner! 2022 Amby Awards, Mystery and Thriller category. Winner! 3rd place in the Ballsy Tea Awards 2022, Action and Adventure category.Complete![DELUSIONS (Sample) [PUBLISHED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/79173952-256-k144674.jpg)
