Mike’s Reviews > The Unknown Seven: a detective story > Status Update

Straight off to a roaring start. We're in noir territory from the first scene: fog and rain in New York City, detective in a slouch hat and long raincoat smoking a cigar while keeping watch on a suspect's house. Fancy car pulls up, beautiful woman invites him to get in, takes him to a meeting with mysterious figures who try to bribe and threaten him to give up the case. It's well written, too, genuinely suspenseful.
