A classic noir-inflected private detective thriller that trades in cynicism, moral ambiguity, and the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles wealth.
Harper is a cynical private eye in the best tradition of Bogart. He even has Bogie's Baby hiring him to find her missing husband, getting involved along the way with an assortment of unsavory characters and an illegal-alien smuggling ring.
