The Black Light City: A Short Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798282779967)

THE BLACK LIGHT CITY
By M. Joseph LaFrance

"In a city of vice, loyalty is the only currency that counts."

Vin Russo isn't your typical Chicago detective. He loves disco. Drives a black and gold Firebird. Knows the after-hours club scene better than the precinct bulletin board. But when a dancer from his favorite club goes missing-and another soon after-Russo's carefree world of nightlife and indulgence shatters.

His investigation leads him into the heart of the city's darkest underworld: Russian mobsters, private clubs, and a dangerous trafficking circuit no one wants to talk about. Along the way, Russo must confront his own secrets, including a past affair that could destroy the only meaningful relationship he's got left.

Set against the pulsing lights and beats of 1970s Chicago, The Black Light City is a noir crime thriller that blends danger, desire, and a detective's quiet quest for redemption.

For fans of Inherent Vice, The Long Goodbye, and LA Confidential.
