RE: A Well-Traveled Forbidden Fruit, Part 1 (based on @nyarlahotep's "Forbidden Fruit")

Chief Inspector Dubois is starting to be a classic now... A new case calls, again with an essence of surreal origins and/or implications! Maybe it will become a habit, to take all such cases, as long as his sanity is intact...

Sort:  

He actually has his origin in a dark mystery I did for the Freewriters Community and their 50,000 word challenge in May ... he is the Interpol contact on the case and plays a strong supporting role ... he began with something of a specialty, an unusual serial killer that he tracked for years and then catches in concert with American law enforcement. He became a much bigger character there than I expected, so I brought him out of the supporting role over here to be a lead, and he is extending his specialty for the unusual ... Interpol does not have a "Weird Crime" department, but he is becoming their man for the job ... but you're right ... like the friend he supported in Freewriters, you do this stuff long enough, and you do have to take precautions for sanity ... as a lead character, it may become an issue ... the four forms of the Mandala of Protection actually tested his grasp or reality... who knows what fractal horrors we might put him through ...
