A.J. Braun Sailor went off to fight World War Two, leaving behind his beautiful young wife Echo, and his job as a New York City police detective. After four years of fighting the Japanese in the Pacific, he returned home to find that he is out of a job, that his wife divorced him and married his former boss Francis Feeney, who is now a police captain.
No money, no job and no wife, Sailor is a threat to no one and yet finds himself the victim of a mob-style hit. Is it from his new friends the Cohen brothers, members of the Jewish mafia? Old enemies inside the Italian mafia from his days as a cop? The Harlem mafia with a grudge against Sailor? Or Feeney, who suspects that Sailor wants his wife back.
Sailor goes into hiding, meets a luscious dame named Chloe, and tries to piece together the puzzle of who wants him dead.
New York City Noir is a delicious tale of cops and robbers where it is impossible to tell just who is who, told in classic, hard-boiled, noir style.
