Subscribers receive material that does not appear in the book.

That includes:

This is not additional plot.
It is material around the case.

What this is not

  • No early chapters
  • No serialised continuation
  • No promotional newsletter
  • No guaranteed frequency

Updates are sent only when there is something worth adding.

A Note from Percival Hoover

For the record: I did not ask for this.

If you have read the case file, you already know how this came about.
Apparently, solving the case was deemed insufficient.

I am told this section exists to “provide context”.

If that matters to you, proceed accordingly.
If not, you are not missing the case itself.

Do not expect regular messages.
Do not expect enthusiasm.

P.H.

Addendum: The image above is staged.
I was told there would be a biscuit if I clicked the trackball. There was not.
