The Waterloo Diaries: The Bedsore Conspiracy

The Waterloo Diaries: The Bedsore Conspiracy is a murder mystery, set in a fictional Mississippi jerkwater (Bedsore). Its protagonist, Waterloo Clyde, is a contemporary private detective who fancies himself a throwback to the hard-boiled dicks of noir fiction: Philip Marlowe, Sam Spade, Mike Hammer, et al. The story is full of the twists, eccentric characters, and droll dialogue you might expect from a guy named Waterloo Clyde. The solving of the crime turns on a single word, in a way you likely won't see coming.
