Straight From The Author's Mouth

C.B Green
Created by Bill Capron

My protagonist, C.B. GREEN, AKA "the color-blind detective," has a unique perspective on the world. It is a dark male view of the mean streets stripped of that female need for fairness. His world isn't fair, but it's always just. Yes, C. B. Green makes justice happen. It's why the cops hate him. It's why the cops love him.

Strip the color from your world. Imagine only black, white and gray. Imagine you're Ansel Adams' lens. Imagine seeing the drug transaction in the dark entryway, the high-class hooker leaving the Hilton, the nonchalant walker checking the parked cars, the kid eyeing the unlocked bike, the cyclist watching for a loosely held purse, the homeless person on the edge of doing something stupid. Imagine not being able to not see them.

I've written a number of short stories about a character called the color-blind detective, and have recently finished a full-length manuscript."

UNDER OATH

• "That female need for fairness? A dark male view? Sheesh, what a bunch of hokum! But what do I know? I always thought that being color-blind meant not that you can't see colors, but that you just can't tell red from green."
  (Duke Seabrook)
