    The Private Eye

    Jayne Ann Krentz · 1992

    Play the hero? Not likely! Josh January--A burned-out, beat-up rogue of a private eye. His last case had nearly killed him.... Maggie Gladstone--The vibrant, sexy innkeeper who'd read too many detective novels... and wanted badly to believe in heroes. Shrewdly. Josh agreed to investigate the strange goings-on at Maggie's charming bed and breakfast. The case would be a cinch--no heroics necessary. Josh could concentrate on important things like rest, recovery... and seducing tawny-haired Maggie. He was dead wrong--about the case and about sweet Maggie. If Josh didn't start playing the hero, he'd pay a very high price.

      That CV Dazzle project is fascinating. The link to the warship Dazzle camouflage is also hilarious in the sense that that is what people have to turn to in 2019.

      It reminds me of the comic book The Private Eye by Brian K Vaughn. In that story the cloud "bursts" and online privacy evaporates overnight so everyone turns to intense camouflage to protect their identity. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Private_Eye)

      I'm reminded of the comic book/graphic novel Private Eye[1].
