WRITER & CREATOR BY: PARKER NEWMAN ILLUSTRATED BY: KINGSLEY EZEH A Killer Stalks the Mob. Hollywood Hides the Truth. Steeped in noir tradition-corruption, blood, and betrayal wrapped in the glamour of a city built on make-believe. Los Angeles, 1924. The city is a powder keg. One side of town is draped in velvet and spotlight. The other bleeds. When a powerful crime boss's family is targeted by a mysterious killer, he hires two private detectives-outsiders with nothing to lose-to track the killer down before an all-out mob war erupts. Their investigation leads them from smoke-filled jazz clubs to Hollywood studio lots, pulling back the curtain on the city's darkest secrets.
