Fission Chips is Book 4 from our favourite scribbler, MCM. 8 to go!

Gare Marx has been a PI for all of five minutes when he discovers he sucks at it. The mob wants money he never borrowed, he’s suspected of murdering someone he hasn’t met, and he’s hired to find a woman who may be involved in some extremely shady business. That, and his secretary is an amoral jiu jitsu-loving sociopath.

With only hours before his life is ended in multiple (possibly concurrent) horrible ways, he has to dig up the courage and/or resources to solve the case(s), before the cases “solve” him.

May 21, 2009 — Novel — Ages 15+

Fission Chips is a serialized detective mystery with a twist. Every week, you, the readers, get to vote on what Gare should do next. There’s a complex storyline just below the surface that is working on auto-pilot, waiting for you to interfere. And to further complicate things, FiftyWordStories.com’s Tim Sevenhuysen is The Antagonizer, in charge of complicating events every time you get close to solving one of the threads.
