What to expect

Reformed-swindler-turned-private-eye Jack O’Shea investigates a strange death at a shadowy Northern California mountain college—a “visa mill” with close ties to Silicon Valley. Accompanied by his retired racing greyhound, Jack discovers the school sits on top of an abandoned gold mine with dark secrets buried underneath. Rooting out deception, and navigating murder, is Jack’s stock-in-trade.

Critics Review

  • “A good, old-fashioned mystery thriller powered by a completely original and compelling protagonist, John Shepphird’s Deception Specialist speeds along at a breakneck pace while also tugging at your emotions. I read it in one sitting”

    David Housewright, Edgar Award–winning author of In a Hard Wind

  • “I’ve always been a sucker for a conman, and it’s a joy to be taken in by reformed grifter Jack O’Shea as he turns the tables on a murderous conspiracy.”

    Dennis Tafoya, author of Dope Thief

  • “Scammers, schemers, and scoundrels are no match for former con man-turned-private eye Jack O’Shea. This Deception Specialist navigates murder while confronting the ghosts of his swindling past in this edge-of-your-seat page turner.”

    Steve Jankowski, author of Below the Line
