In his interview in The Digest Enthusiast No. 8 (June 2018), Michael Bracken gave a brief character sketch of detective Rose:

“Nathaniel Rose is a St. Louis-based private eye who made his first appearance in “Partners” (Hardboiled, Winter/Spring 1988), and all seven Rose stories are collected in Tequila Sunrise (Wildside Press, 2000).”
