The Files of Gray Gaynes is an ongoing murder mystery series by R.L. Akers, which started with Gray Tones. Major installments in the series consist of numbered novellas. All Gray stories are written in past tense, from close third-person point of view (with limited exceptions[1][2]), and feature the eponymous protagonist as the point-of-view character. To date, all major entries in the Gray Gaynes series have the word "Gray" in the title, while short story titles reference other colors.

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).

Footnotes

  1. The short first chapter of Fade to Gray is a flashback written from the perspective of the as-yet unidentified Mad Batter serial killer.
  2. The Gray in the City anthology and Gray Dawn both include excerpts from this wiki, which is of course written from an omniscient perspective.
