One Man Seeks the Truth

Martin Dwayne’s world had been shattered when his wife was tragically killed in an accidental shooting. But his life was occupied with raising his children, so suddenly deprived of their mother’s loving attention.

Ten years later, a series of phone calls prompts him to delve deeper into the circumstances surrounding her death and he begins to suspect foul play.

With the police dismissing his concerns, Martin seeks out Zachary Goldman, a seasoned PI known for his dogged persistence in cracking tough cases. As Zachary seeks out the truth, he uncovers layers of secrets that test his resolve and determination.

Will Oliver and Zachary be able to uncover the truth behind his wife’s death and bring those responsible to justice? Or will they become victims of the same forces that are determined to keep the truth hidden?

Praise for He Was Deceived:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love this series as it always delivers a gripping mystery, lots of suspense, plenty of twists and turns, interesting original characters and an underlying message of hope, resilience, and steadfast perseverance to face any challenge that comes your way.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love this series and this book is a great addition. Zachary has his work cut out as he looks into a cold case. I love these characters and can’t wait to see what happens next for him and Kenzie.

Zachary Goldman, Private Investigator, is flawed with a capital F. Shattered by the tragedies of his own life, he will somehow still manage to pick himself up and dig just a little bit deeper than anyone else to piece together the vital clues and solve the mystery.

Maybe being broken makes it easier for others who have faced tragedy to trust him. Walk with Zachary as he solves cases that will stretch his abilities to the limit.

Even with his own life in shambles, Zachary Goldman is still the one you want on the case.

Author Notes may contain spoilers!

I knew from the start that this one was going to be a cold case for Zachary. He needed something nice and safe to investigate that wouldn’t have unexpected consequences and put his life in danger.

Right?

Right?

LOL. It is never that easy for Zachary. Between the injuries sustained in She Was Out of Reach and the upcoming Christmas season, maybe he should just have stayed home.

It is always interesting to write a cold case mystery and to figure out how the detective is going to find the clues after so many years have passed. It takes some creative thinking and ingenuity!

“Every single one of [P.D. Workman’s] books has spoken to me … And I have found strength in the books I’ve read.”

“This is one author I certainly will be looking out for, I can’t recommend her enough.”

“I’ll read anything by P. D. Workman that I can get my hands on.”

“Every book by PD Workman that I’ve read has been a gripping one, however different the genres are, going from lighter mysteries to really dark ones… this is one of my favourite, most dependable authors.”

“P.D. Workman is an incredibly versatile writer. No matter which of her books I read I am drawn into a great story and honestly, I don’t think I’ve followed another author that could go from cozy mystery to YA to a PI series dealing with mental health issues. Really enjoy her books!”

“[P.D. Workman’s] stories are so believable and you can’t help but feel like you know these people. You find yourself crying, laughing and feeling the characters emotions. Now if an author can make you cry and feel every emotion in a story, she is one hell of an author.”

“P. D. Workman, does not shy from probing the deep psychological scars of childhood trauma, mental illness, and addiction. Also characteristic of this author, these extremely sensitive issues are explored with extensive empathy, described with incredible clarity, and portrayed with profound insight.”

“Once again P.D.Workman has created an intense psychological mystery that impacts a wallop of thought induction. The writing is so well developed and draws you into the characters story.”
