PAID IN LEAD

A classical Los Angeles noir built on a modern psychological reveal. Ex LAPD homicide detective Jack Morrison, now sixty two, runs a one man PI shop and takes a case from a beautiful client looking for her missing husband. As he investigates he discovers the husband is already dead, the wife is a femme fatale executing a two year plan, and the blood on his own cuff is already dry.\n\nWhat follows is not a whodunit but a whether to accept, as Jack confronts a diagnosis he has been avoiding and pieces together a truth he cannot remember authoring. Noir classical on the surface, psychological erosion underneath. Comparables: Memento, The Long Goodbye, Insomnia, Shutter Island.
