About this ebook

Maybe they deserve each other, those bad guys and B-girls. Noir Quartet: Bad Guys & B-Girls presents four tales of mystery and crime from the grim and gritty netherworld of 'Noir'. Cops, crooks and coquettes prowl dance halls and dark alleys where hot-sheet hotels beckon and bar hounds plot their next score. But be careful: That B-girl's coaxing a cocktail from you with her red-lipped smile so you won't even notice the bad guy's got a gun in his hand...and it's pointed right at you.

Whodunits? Not so much. The Noir Quartet series of short story collections by C.J. Thomas are compact reads offering four dark tales of murder, mystery and more, set in the 'then' and the 'now', celebrating classic Noir tropes and then reimagining them in fresh settings.

About the author

C.J. Thomas is a designer by profession and writer by vocation, a lifelong mystery, crime fiction and film noir fan with a special fondness for classic mid-twentieth century Hollywood crime films, that era's hard-boiled detective novels and crime pulps as well as the commercial illustrators whose work did so much to visualize those genres in paperback and magazine cover art, interior illustrations, movie posters and more. Look for Chicagoland resident Thomas' Stiletto Gumshoe novels and the Noir Quartet series of compact story collections.
