Delicious Little Traitor: A Varian Pike Mystery

by Jack Dewitt

Delicious Little Traitor begins quietly in December 1953 when private investigator Varian Pike looks into the disappearance of a war buddy’s niece and finds himself in the middle of a secret war between federal agencies. How a bright young college student became the target of a leading anti-communist politician is only one of the challenging and dangerous questions that take Varian up and down the Eastern Seaboard and deep into the past in search of answers. Along the way almost everyone he meets has some kind of score to settle and secret to hide. It’s a journey that will leave deep scars. “This is so engaging--the Northeast winter landscape, the brilliant dialog, the jazz track. Good stuff.” --Bobbie Ann Mason, author of In Country and The Girl in the Blue Beret
