About the Book
When college junior and zealous distance runner Ken Perry stumbles into a cryptic hidden room in his family home, he is blind-sided by the secret past of his long-dead father. Had Walt Perry really been the victim of a random, drive-by shooting? Or was he assassinated by someone from the shadows of that silent chamber? Ken’s quest for answers plunges him into a maze of espionage, sex, drugs and violence, with pivotal encounters in a biker clubhouse and a secluded monastery. His pursuit ends with a desperate marathon that unlocks the secrets surrounding the mysterious niche, and his father´s death.
"In ´Spy Wednesday´, author Steven Sims introduces us to Ken Perry, an ordinary guy from an ordinary Midwestern town attending an ordinary Midwestern college. That´s where it stops being ordinary as Ken´s education takes on a new twist as he delves into his father´s murky past... Sims has fashioned a page-turner and thriller that is extraordinary."
