This was my novel for NaNoWriMo; unfortunately the story was 9,900 words short of a novel. I guess you could say it's an extremely long short story. There is no sex in the story, because it is set in 1937 and everybody knows that people did not start having sex until the 1960's. It's a novel of Historical fiction. The main character is a private eye. I used 1930's slang for when the characters spoke. Also the events and music are of the period. Enjoy!
