Hello, Messier43, and welcome to the ISFDB Wiki! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

- What the ISFDB Wiki is for
- FAQ
- Wiki editing help - Tips on how to use the wiki-specific features when editing wiki pages.

Note: Image uploading isn't entirely automated. You're uploading the files to the wiki which will then have to be linked to the database by editing the publication record.
Please be careful in editing publications that have been primary verified by other editors. See Help:How to verify data#Making changes to verified pubs. But if you have a copy of an unverified publication, verifying it can be quite helpful. See Help:How to verify data for detailed information.

Hello and welcome!
I initially approved your request to add this book but it is not really eligible for the DB - we only cover speculative fiction as described in our Rules of Acquisition: here. As this novel is a police procedural and does not have speculative elements, it is not eligible to be added. If you think that it does have speculative elements, please post some details and I will add it back in. Thanks! Annie (talk) 14:04, 7 February 2024 (EST)
- Sorry, Annie, but - though the novel seems to be nongenre - I do think that Heitz is quite clearly above the threshold: he gained his fame entirely by genre work (which would make the novel eligible after all). Christian Stonecreek (talk) 14:10, 7 February 2024 (EST)
