1940s Wichita, Kansas

World War II is over, but shamus Dwayne Wheeler is about to be caught up in a war of his own. Charged with the safekeeping and transferring of works of art that are sold and traded among a cabal of wealthy collectors, he is content with living an action-free life.

But when Pete Van Dyke-Dwayne's former commanding officer in the military police-asks him to join in on his latest project, he can't refuse. All too soon, risky circumstances come to light when mysterious powers-that-be want to learn more about the cabal's contact in Wichita.

Thrust into a precarious mishmash of U.S. military intelligence, a secret Zionist organization, neo-Nazis, Interpol and the FBI, Dwayne must, once again, fight to keep his head above water in a race against time.

Wichita Artistique is book four in a historical private eye series that follows Dwayne Wheeler-a tough and hardboiled detective.
