Last night’s drafting saw the completion of the prologue as well as the completion of the first scene in Chapter 1.

This week, drafting will see the completion of Chapter 1 and the beginning of Chapter 2.

Daniel Roberts, our friend at The Dad Lit Pod, is greatly looking forward to reading this novel in draft. The aim is to provide him with arcs–which breaks down this way:

Prologue – Chapter 5, Return to Chicago and the opening moves of the investigationChapters 6 – 11, Building the case and growing suspenseChapters 12 – 15, Murder DayChapter 16 – Epilogue, Climax and resolution

Virgil Colvin is back in Chicago to catch the killer of his former Homicide partner, Bruce Kopack. What information does Chief of Detectives Dick Borneman have for Colvin? What culinary delight of his former home should Colvin eat first?

More soon!
