It was the 1930s, and America was locked in the grip of the Great Depression. Gangsters controlled the major cities, while outlaws roamed the rural back country. It was a time of speakeasy gin-joints, tommy-guns, fast cars, and even faster dames. This is the world of New York-based private investigator Rick Ruby, a world he is all too familiar with. From the back alleys of Gotham to the gold laden boulevards of Hollywood, Ruby is the shamus with a nose for trouble and an insatiable appetite for justice. So, if you’ve got a taste for hot lead and knuckle sandwiches, tug your cuffs, adjust your fedora, and light up a Lucky, a brand new pulp detective is coming your way.
Created by pulp masters, Bobby Nash and Sean Taylor, Rick Ruby echoes the tales of Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe while offering up his own brand of two-fisted action. Joined by fellow pulp smiths Andrew Salmon and William Patrick Maynard, these modern scribes of purple prose present a quartet of tales to delight any true lover of private eye fiction.
