Jake, after reading many unsatisfying PI books, decides that the situation in crime fiction has reached a breaking point. With Des's help Jake sets up a ACOA funded literary journal dedicated to exclusively publishing short stories about Canadian PIs written by Canadian PIs.
Jake immediately has four of his stories accepted for publication and is on his way to the bank to deposit his honorarium cheque when it is discovered that his 'stories' were nothing more than touched up versions of stories from the local paper that had detailed Jake and Mal's exploits.
When the AG eventually got around to investigating the matter he recommended that in the future literary journal start-up funds only be given to those literary journals that have more accessible mandates.
