Created by Pat Dobie
(1963–)
A tough, cynical lesbian private eye, down on her luck, CHRIS PRIOR lives over a Vancouver escort agency, in love with its owner.
And then she gets roped into looking into a murder that somehow connects the murder of one of the agency’s young escorts and a chess-playing professor, and eventually Chris finds herself tracking down clues in… Toronto.
Not bad, especially considering it only took the author three days to write it. It was the winner of the 11th Annual International Three-Day Novel Writing Contest.
