Indetectable

Wanda Wary, a black orphan, is a senior in a newly-integrated rural Kansas high school in 1955. She is a student on weekday mornings. A work/study program has her working as a nurse's aid in an rest home during the afternoons. Jack Jameson, a quadriplegic patient, joins her in a firm which is merely a yellow-page listing for INDETECTABLE PRIVATE INVESTIGATIONS with a P.O. Box and Jack's telephone number. To their surprise, their first case is a violent rape of a woman who doesn't want law enforcement involved.

Harry Gossett was born and raised in the Midwest. He served in the United States Marine Corps and then launched a half-century career as an investigator, first as an FBI agent and then as a private detective. His partner in the private investigations business was a black woman. Now retired, he writes books.
