   Summary

   A neo noir detective AU set in early 1960s New York.

   Detective James Buchanan Barnes, the top brass of the homicide unit in the NYPD encounters the case of a lifetime. Women getting killed left and right under the most bizarre circumstances. Something he hadn't thought he'd see in his wildest dreams. A budding romance with a burlesque dancer of all people. Deceit, murder, friendship and love. Will he be able to save everything he holds dear before the inferno of a man blinded by rage consumes them all? Or will he see the world around him burn as he is left helpless and hopeless, nothing he can do but watch in pain as everything he built for himself just crumbles into the abyss?

   I've always been a sucker for the serial killer stuff. Hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have while writing.
