The first in a short story noir mystery series, centered around Detective Maxwell Gunn. Book One: The Blackout King - When his girlfriend was murdered several years ago, Detective Gunn all but gave up on his career, on love... on life in general. Crushed by loss, he fell deep into a bottle, and intended to stay there, until the Blonde walked into his life and died that same night. The Blackout King's return sparked in Gunn a determination he hadn't felt in years - a drive - to stop him this time, one way or another.
