Saucerful of Secrets

Dan L. Hollifield
D-Day had been a PI for a dozen years now, so you'd think he'd seen it all- Right? Right… He thought so, until a simple divorce case took a back-seat to an odd tangential clue. He wound up with a new client who was in a tight spot. The more D-Day learned about his new case, the odder it got. Or as he so deftly put it himself: "What am I- a weirdness magnet?"

June - Oct. 1999
