Given the short narrative length of each mystery, Akers has stated that each story arc will eventually be republished in anthology format. The first such anthology, ''Gray in the City'', encompasses all six of the novellas set in New York City during Gray Gaynes' career as an NYPD detective. The forthcoming ''Gray Dawn'' will pick up in a new locale, with a largely new cast of supporting characters (but including a few cameos from old favorites).
