      The Case of the Simple Passage - Dean Wesley Smith

      A grandson goes missing in an old house. But he never left.

      Impossible. But it happened.

      The perfect kind of crazy case for private detective Pilgrim Hugh and his beautiful assistant, Donna.

      Another fan-favorite Pilgrim Hugh Incident.

      Pilgrim studied the old building for a moment while he waited for Donna. The tall roof looked to be in good shape, but the siding and trim and shutters around the old windows were clearly in need of sanding and paint. He could see evidence around to the side of the house beyond a hedge that workers had been working on the place, but in this neighborhood, they would have come in from the alley and only work on the front quickly.

      Pilgrim admired older buildings like this one, but he liked his stuff new and on the cutting edge of technology. His penthouse on the top floor of his law building was state of the art and he spent a lot of money regularly keeping it that way.

      And this limo was state
