Gary the Lemon Cheesecake
A procedural investigator follows the wrong clues for all the right reasons.
Marty Fletcher is good at spotting fraud. He reads nervous customers, catches courier scams and knows when a rehearsed story does not add up.
Then his wife leaves with their daughter, the savings disappear and the world turns sour. Lemons begin to watch. Bananas become protection. Frank the Fridge becomes Marty’s most reliable confidant. Gary, held in the kitchen for questioning, remains infuriatingly silent.
As Marty pursues a conspiracy through grief, paranoia and psychosis, the impossible logic of his lemon-haunted reality begins colliding with a very real fraud investigation.
“What even is reality, anyway? I’m a sentient cheesecake, mate.”— Gary, being helpful in the prologue
