But when a con artist swindles his delightfully naïve friend Ace Smith out of some money, Reed steps in to see if he can find the culprit. This leads him to a devious bell-ringing Santa and much more. Can Reed wrap up this mystery before his holiday festivities begin, or will his holly jolly Christmas Eve turn fatal?<br /><br />Note: Ace in the Hole is a 25,000-word novella in the Reed Ferguson world. It is set after Road Blocked in the timeline.<br /><br />With a Bogie-wannabe detective, a dose of humor, and a clever homage to film noir, you won't want to put this mystery down. From the award-wining author of This Doesn't Happen In The Movies.<br /><br />Great for fans who love a fast-paced, humorous read, without a lot of swearing or sex.<br /><br />More Great Reviews of this private investigator series:<br /><br />Kirkus Reviews:<br />The promising kickoff to Pawlish's comic mystery series, starring far-from-perfect private investigator Reed Ferguson. Pawlish earns high marks for plot construction, with twists and turns naturally unfolding as Ferguson, inexperienced but not incapable, feels his way through the case. A good-humored mystery series worth following.<br /><br />5 star review:<br />Oh how I’ve missed the Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe characters that saw me with a flashlight in the dead of night flipping pages to see what happened next. Thank you Ms. Pawlish for bringing back to life this long-lost art of the detective battling against all odds and getting to the bottom of things.<br />Maureen with zencherry book reviews<br /><br />The Reed Ferguson mystery series:<br /><br />• Book 1: This Doesn't Happen In The Movies<br />• Book 2: Reel Estate Rip-off<br />• Book 3: The Maltese Felon<br />• Book 4: Farewell, My Deuce<br />• Book 5: Out Of The Past<br />• Book 6: Torch Scene<br />• Book 7: The Lady Who Sang High<br />• Book 8: Sweet Smell Of Sucrets<br />• Book 9: The Third Fan<br />• Book 10: Back Story<br />• Book 11: Night of the Hunted<br />• Book 12: The Postman Always Brings Dice<br />• Book 13: Road Blocked<br />• Book 14: Small Town Focus<br />• Ace in the Hole novella<br />• Kindle Worlds Novella: Walk Softly, Danger<br />• short story: Elvis And The Sports Card Cheat<br />• short story: A Gun For Hire<br /><br />Private Investigator Mystery Series Categories:<br /><br />- Mystery Series<br />- Private Investigator Series<br />- Traditional Detective Mysteries<br />- Crime Thrillers<br />- Crime Series<br />- Private Detective Novels<br />- pulp<br />- humor<br />- comedy<br />- noir<br />- cozy
