The 26th Letter

by Larry Flewin

The Private Investigator, long hours, irregular pay, the only reward self-preservation. Hardly an incentive for the career minded. Which doesn’t explain Tony Ford, a long in the tooth PI, and survivor.

His lunch is liquid, his life is singular, and his attitude towards his fellow man is as grimy as the streets he prowls. He’s not rich but he’s not dead.

Second by second, clue by clue, on the trail and on the case right to the bitter end. Endings always seem to surprise, but then coincidence has a habit of being like that. Was the fortune the real goal?

Our next ReWrite Workshop starts soon

Have a first draft of a novel kicking around, but don't know how to tackle a second draft? If you live in the Toronto area, CommuterLit has the solution. Our next face-to-face, six-week ReWrite Workshop, led by CL editor Nancy Kay Clark, will start in soon. Group numbers are intentionally low to give as much attention as possible to each participant's manuscript.
Email the editor for more info.
Here's what one recent participant had to say:

"I found Nancy's ReWrite Workshop to be exactly what I needed in my writing journey. As promised, the workshop helped me understand how to tackle edits to help move the manuscript from a first draft state. I'd highly recommend the workshop for anyone who has struggled to understand how to revise and edit a manuscript. I gained insights into what was working or needed revising in my story, while gaining instruction on writing craft." — Trish Knox
