Maybe this will be resolved in the next book. I read an interview with Glen Cook after Whispering Nickel Idols (Garrett, P.I. Book #11) came out in 2005, that he had contracted for two more books, which includes Cruel Zinc Melodies. Perhaps the 13th book will be the last, but I hope that is not so because I really love this series.
Alas, there doesn't seem to be another out soon. I did a search on Amazon and had it sort by release date (which usually shows upcoming books). According to http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_st?rs=1000&page=1&rh=i%3Astripbooks%2Cp_27%3A... there's no new Garrett book with a release date.
This is the series that got me hooked into the scifi/fantasy P.I. books.
You might enjoy the Dresden books by Jim Butcher - one of the blurbs on the first book was by Cook, who wished he had written it. Richard
