Behind the scenes
Graynes Gaynes' NYPD murder investigations are retold in the first six books of the series bearing his name (From the Files of Gray Gaynes).
As with many story ideas, the Gray books began as a single short narrative (some of the details actually adapted from a strange dream the author had). Naming the character "Gray" was, of course, intentionally on the nose. As Gray's tale quickly developed into a longer series, author R.L. Akers faced the unexpected question of whether Gray himself should ever acknowledge the aptness of his own name. This might be just a little too meta, however.
