The Devils Stair Case: A Pegasus Investigations Mystery

Dallas, Texas, July 2013; after struggling for many years to keep Pegasus Investigations afloat, Carl Jennings now has a business partner and a staff of dedicated agents. When their most beautiful employee is kidnapped, they will do whatever it takes to rescue her. Carl’s first priority is to keep his other loved ones from danger. He reluctantly accepts the safe houses offered by the Federal Government. When the first safe house goes up in flames, he puts his trust in a faux femme fatale and her mysterious brother’s secretive operation. Meanwhile, Carl’s partner quickly puts together a makeshift army of bouncers, dominatrices, bartenders, musicians, arachnologists, attorneys and other assorted freaks of nature. The man once known as ‘The Absolutely Incredible Freak Show’ is difficult to impress. But even he is awed by the army and the arsenal he assembles. Everybody knows that rescuing the damsel will be dangerous. Nobody expects the entire army to survive, but it has to be done. After all, in the words of the great detective, A case is a case. This time, though, the client isn’t just a client!
