Dark streets, seedy dives, shady characters, fake identities, dangerous dames, innocent victims, psychological terror, and plots that twist and turn like a vengeful dagger. These are the hallmarks of the ominous NOIR nights.
All those flickering images that keep the night owls company... while the rest of the city takes refuge in slumber. Dreaming their futile dreams of a safer and saner world. While just outside their locked doors the creatures of the night prowl the streets.

There's a man dressed in black. He's a western gunfighter for hire. A silver chess piece is embossed on his holster. A white knight stoically glares from the centre of his calling card. You can wire Paladin in San Francisco to champion your cause. Your $1,000 will buy poetic justic.
A cool private eye that had it all. Expensive suits, hip contacts, and a beautiful blonde canary for a girlfriend. He knows the score and has one to die for. Once the show's theme is heard-- it's never forgotten. This was the show that brought jazz to the small screen.
The seedy world of hard-boiled pulp fiction has risen from the past and manifested itself in the present. With brand new stories as well as page turning classics by the masters. Complete with classic 50's pulp-style artwork gracing their covers.
Are your fantasies becoming reality, Dude? Is it all just a collective fever dream... or are alternative realities unfolding... shifting... and calling out to you from the multiverse?
I investigate bands and musicians in the Republic of Cascadia. A rough and tumble country located in the Pacific Northwest. Sandwiched between Canada and the United States of America. A place where justice is just a myth. And where the streets are paved with vice and corruption.
It's a dirty job. But somebody has to do it.
Many of my cases are on file at Aural Innovations and the Cascadian Ministry of Defence. Direct links to the declassified cases in The Action Man files can be found below.
