Lewis Hurdy and a Little Bit of Danger: The Lewis Hurdy Mysteries

Puma Springs has protected its secrets for more than a century. Lewis Hurdy is about to discover how far its guardians will go to keep them.

After surviving his first real investigation, Lewis would be perfectly happy returning to his quiet library job, his mystery novels, and his growing relationship with Eliza Claremont. But Eliza’s research has uncovered troubling gaps in the historical record—missing documents connected to the abandoned settlement of Beaverton, a shadowy organization called the Tabernacle, and a hidden source of water rumored to possess extraordinary healing properties.

Then Eliza’s manuscript is stolen.

What begins as a historical puzzle quickly becomes a dangerous search through forgotten archives, coded maps, contested land rights, and a network of people determined to control the truth. Someone has already killed to protect Puma Springs’ past. Someone is watching Lewis and Eliza. And the closer they get to the underground secret, the less Lewis can trust the people he once considered friends.

When the investigation leads into the wilderness—and beneath the surface of Puma Springs itself—Lewis learns that curiosity has consequences. This time, solving the mystery may cost him far more than his reputation.

Lewis Hurdy and a Little Bit of Danger is a suspenseful, darkly humorous small-town mystery about hidden history, divided loyalties, and the devastating price of betrayal.
