Lewis Hurdy Mysteries
Meet Lewis Hurdy: library worker, trivia champion, reluctant amateur detective—and the secret author of a successful mystery series published under a pseudonym.
Lewis moved to the mountain town of Puma Springs in search of a quieter, simpler life. Instead, he finds murder, missing people, buried gold, stolen historical records, a legendary source of healing water, and a secret organization willing to do almost anything to protect the town’s past.
Fortunately, Lewis has spent years creating fictional crimes for his detective, Oliver Krumpyle. Unfortunately, real killers do not follow outlines, real clues rarely arrive in the proper order, and the people Lewis trusts most may be keeping the most dangerous secrets.
With the help of writer and historian Eliza Claremont—and an eccentric circle of librarians, bookstore owners, athletes, history buffs, law-enforcement officers, and trivia obsessives—Lewis follows each mystery into the forgotten corners of Puma Springs. But every answer uncovers another layer of deception, drawing him deeper into a story that began generations before he arrived.
The Lewis Hurdy Mystery Series combines clever investigations, sharp humor, small-town relationships, romantic complications, and steadily mounting suspense. Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven mysteries with quirky communities, historical secrets, imperfect heroes, and crimes whose consequences extend far beyond the final clue.
