What readers say about Deadly Truth
Five-Star Amazon Reviewer, M.C., United States
"I could practically feel the grime and the growing paranoia of the city as Voss kept digging into things he really should have left alone. It’s one of those rare thrillers that makes you feel genuinely uneasy, perfectly capturing that heavy, "no-win" noir atmosphere that lingers long after you finish."
Five-Star Amazon Reviewer, K.C., United States
"A sharp, noir-leaning mystery with a strong sense of atmosphere. Elric Voss is a solid, persistent lead, and the case grows into something larger without losing focus. The mix of corruption, conspiracy, and steady tension makes this an engaging and promising series start."
Five-Star Amazon Reviewer, M., Australia
"Loved this book! Elric Voss is such a cool main character, and the whole mystery about that creepy Genesis computer system kept me hooked. It felt so real, like a dark movie where everyone has a secret. The story moved fast and had some great twists I didn't see coming. Definitely a great read if you like thrillers or detective stories.

Elric Voss is not a complicated man. He finds things people lose, he asks questions people avoid, and he charges what the market will bear. The problem is what happens when the answer is worse than the question — because Elric cannot leave it alone. He has never learned how. In a city that runs on buried things, that is not a virtue. It is a condition.
About the Author
Mike Wessels writes noir and hard-boiled mystery thrillers built on buried secrets, moral danger, and the kind of truth that always comes with a price. He came to the genre through Chandler and Hammett and has never found a reason to leave. The Elric Voss series is his attempt to push that tradition forward without losing what made it matter.
