In a city full of superheroes there is only one man interested in balancing the scales of justice: Private Detective Jack Story. If you enjoy detectives, dames, and superheroes who try to commit murder, you’ll love the world of Jack Story.
It’s a world Inspired by the works of Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and Ross Macdonald, Alan Moore, and Frank Millar. Jack Story is a hard-boiled private detective who’s seen too many crooked cops, incompetent mayors, and criminal superheroes to believe in much of anything anymore. He tries to keep to himself behind the frosted glass door of his office/apartment, but trouble likes to come looking for him. Trouble that is usually wrapped in a pencil skirt and wearing a pretty smile.
Private Detective Jack Story has Two Problems.
The first: he’s a private detective in a city of super heroes. The second: one of those heroes wants to hire him.
Sheldon Kane is a wealthy real estate developer and former super hero. It seems Sheldon is worried someone from his hero days is out to kill his young wife. He wants Jack to follow her around for a few days and prove that it’s just an old man’s paranoia.
It’s easy money. Until she walks into a building that explodes.
The police say it’s a suicide. Jack isn’t so sure. When Kane dismisses Jack from the case with a thank you and a hefty check Jack is sure of one thing: it was murder.
Was she killed by someone from Kane’s past? Did Jack screw up and it’s his fault she’s dead? Or was it her husband the whole time?
When other people connected to the case start turning up dead, Jack can’t miss a step in chasing a killer down.
