Author: D. Ray Van / Year:Current / Genre: Crime-Mystery I’m Jack Stoner, a private eye between cases—way between and desperate for a case, any case, except divorce. Well, maybe... Because I'm in hock to everyone. Then, out of the blue, I got a call offering me a case. Here's the catch: the caller wouldn't tell me details about the case unless we first met. I should’ve hung up and slammed the receiver hard, but desperation only began to describe my predicament. So, I got the where and when and left with little time to spare.
