The Underbelly

Gary Phillips is a past Vice-President of PWA, long time member, active in many different presentations of our genre, including comic book writing. Author of the Ivan Monk novels, he presently has a serialized murder mystery on a site called Four Story, which is devoted to Southern California housing issues. The protagonist is a semi-homeless Vietnam Vet. Part 3 is now up, but you can access Parts 1 & 2. It's called "The Underbelly." Here's the site:www.fourstory.org.

According to Gary it's received kind mention on the Jeff Pierce's Rap Sheet --
