Lance A. Jay's Newly Released "The Cowtown Detective" is an Exhilarating, Action-packed Mystery Featuring the Charming Irish-Catholic Private Detective Robert Kelley

"The Cowtown Detective" from Christian Faith Publishing author Lance A. Jay is an engaging whirlwind of a mystery-detective novel starring the immensely likeable but hopelessly outmatched private detective Robert Kelley, who has to employ the help of his ex-Marine buddy and his large, supportive Irish Catholic family to deal with a problematic client, a frustrating investigation, cases of kidnapping and missing persons, an unexpected love interest, and embezzlement and cattle-rustling set against the backdrop of the picturesque Lone Star State--all without the police being involved.

MEADVILLE, Pa., July 02, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The Cowtown Detective": a high-spirited mystery novel set in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. "The Cowtown Detective" is the creation of published author Lance A. Jay, two-time award-winning investigative reporter, retired Air Force Captain, experienced deputy sheriff and reserve police officer, and professional stage and screen actor living in Fort Worth, Texas, where his debut novel is set.

Jay expertly opens Detective Kelley's story with an introspective bang: "I remembered the words my dad had told me as a young boy so many years ago. 'Find a job you love, son, and you will never work another day in your life.'

I have tried many jobs over the years until I settled on being a private detective in Fort Worth, Texas. Cowtown as we locals sometimes call it. In the sixteen years I've been doing this job, I've come to realize that I did love it, but that didn't mean that it never felt like work. In fact, it almost always feels like work.

So as I lie here facedown in the floor of a camper shell stacked atop the bed of an ugly orange 1972 Ford pickup with my hands cuffed behind my back, I'm thinking that on this day, it feels a whole lot like work and that dear old dad is full of hogwash. The more I think about it, the truck is probably more yellowish than orange."

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Lance A. Jay's new book is a gripping story, where the main character's often hilarious troubles increase in direct proportion to reader enjoyment.

Unexpected, energetically paced, and family friendly, Jay's first novel will engrave the city of Forth Worth and Jay's colorful cast into the reader's living memory.
