Story Profile: “Raguel”
The Trench Coat Chronicles is a new anthology of murder mysteries where every story has to feature a trench coat in some capacity. This seemed like an interesting topic, and since my series detective, Funderburke, wears a distinctive long coat that has become a personal trademark. For a while now, I’ve been plotting a story about how he first got his favorite garment, and it all started with one of his earliest cases as a private investigator.
Before he started working at a school, Funderburke was working at a rundown P.I. agency, not quite making ends meet. He hadn’t started to focus on helping young people in need yet, but “Raguel” is set in a seedy motel, where a teenaged boy is accused of killing his own father. This kind of investigation is new to Funderburke, but this origin story sets Funderburke on the path to realizing his calling is for helping those who can’t help themselves.
The Trench Coat Chronicles is available on Kindle, and the paperback edition will be released soon.
