The Clear Case is Volume 1 of my 1940s San Francisco Private Detective Series, The Gance and Grace Mysteries. I wrote Volumes 1 and 2 (The Halyard Hitch) in the style of short, sweet pulp novellas. However, as I aspire to expand the series into other formats (Hello, networks), I have recently finished massive rewrites of the first book, with the intent of attracting an agent and traditional publishing deal. Check out the old cover, featuring custom artwork by me.
