CHUCK GERARD
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR
— Three Memorable Cases
By Marilyn S. Farley
Chuck Gerard is in his usual top-notch form. This imaginative collection of intriguing mystery stories showcases Chuck’s skills as a detective and a keen observer of human nature.
Chuck is at his best when he’s using his mind to tackle challenging problems. His years as a private investigator have taught him that reality is often far different from appearance, and he uses his talents and experience in a variety of ways to solve the strange cases presented to him.
In THE MOVING COMPANY MYSTERY, Chuck conducts a security assessment at a moving company’s storage warehouse with his colleague, Doug, a wise and slightly cynical retired police detective. Strange things have been happening at the warehouse. Chuck and Doug uncover a shocking situation, far different from anything their clients ever expected. Their discoveries lead Chuck and Doug, their clients, and the police through an unlikely course that takes many strange turns before reaching its nerve-wracking climax.
SISTERS, a touching story of life’s divergent paths, is a very different kind of case. This time Chuck is occupied with a request to locate a woman’s previously unknown sister. A surprising revelation makes it necessary and worthwhile for the sisters to unite for their mutual benefit. But, as Chuck has often observed, some people prefer not to be found.
The third case in this collection, THE NECKLACE, finds Chuck confronted with a puzzling challenge when a surprised college student inherits an unusual necklace and money from a wealthy, successful relative. But why? That’s what she wants to know. Her father enlists Chuck’s services to learn the reasons behind these generous bequests. The unforgettable knowledge revealed will have haunting reverberations for an entire extended family.
Readers who are familiar with Chuck Gerard from earlier stories will gain a deeper appreciation of his skills at using logic and insight to lead him through three very different kinds of investigations. Those who are meeting the principal characters for the first time will have a tantalizing sampling of adventures to come.
