Publisher's blurb: The rain was pouring hard on the thin roof and detective Mullaney wasn’t expecting a single visit. Not just owing to the weather, but everything had been going to hell lately, including his career. Suddenly, a knock. A most terrible crime has been committed, says the dame in the red dress. She needs help. Help only he can provide. A Film Noir Murder Mystery presents a series of Hollywood clichés and movie moments. Take part in creating and directing the story, play film noir archetypes, and explore the fabled murder mystery genre through drama, comedy, and jazz. The dress code will be black as usual, but feel free to bring appropriate props if you have them.
