Enigma House Press is proud to announce the release of Practice to Deceive, the high-octane debut novel in the Greyson Investigates series by Steve Wellington.
If you’re a fan of hard-boiled detectives, complex undercover operations, and the kind of trouble that only follows a man with nothing left to lose, this is the series you’ve been waiting for.
The Story
Jim Greyson thought his biggest challenges were behind him when he left the Army. He was wrong. On his very first day as a civilian, a chance encounter with the wrong woman in a backwater bar lands him in a jail cell.
His only ticket to freedom comes in the form of a renegade FBI agent with a dangerous proposition: go back to your hometown of Harts Bay and take down the city’s final mob kingpin from the inside.
Greyson’s mission is to blend in with the loan sharks, leg breakers, and foreign miscreants who have turned Harts Bay into their personal playground. But Greyson has a habit of giving as good as he gets, and in a city that doesn’t like questions, he’s starting to ask all the wrong ones.
To make matters worse, falling in love with the boss’s daughter was never part of the plan. Now, the line between the mission and the man is beginning to blur, and the consequences could be fatal.
Why You’ll Love It
Steve Wellington crafts a masterclass in tension, blending the atmosphere of classic noir with the pacing of a modern thriller. Jim Greyson is a protagonist for the ages—tough, cynical, yet possessing a moral compass that refuses to stay broken.
Practice to Deceive is a story of redemption, betrayal, and the secrets that haunt small-town America.
