Styles
Pocket vs Expanded
Same method. Different scale. Choose how deep you want to dig.
Pocket
Sharp and contained
About ~500 — built to finish without a weekend hostage situation. Ideal first Zarina Files.
- Tight population and file set
- First title: The Rimeholt Unpleasantness
- Same eliminate → investigate → prove loop
Room to dig
A much larger investigation — more records, more cross-checks, more time in the files.
- Next up: Cruise Port Case Untitled
- Same seal / help chrome as Pocket
- For readers who want the long case
We never call Expanded “Full” on covers or this site.
