Why this must be read: Written in the hardboiled crime fiction style of the 1920's-1940's,lyssie takes well known characters from Stargate SG1 (along with some lesser known ones, and a couple from Stargate Atlantis) and throws them into an AU crime thriller that works surprisingly well. The writing is fresh and engaging, and the characterisations ring true.
It was the legs that got me first. Old Nick down at O'Malley's can tell you that any time you ask. Any dame, any place, if she's got the legs I'll be all over her like a hot second. Or a New York minute. Old Nick, well, he's a great guy. Doesn't kick me out to often, doesn't let too many take advantage.
But the legs.
They were attached to a blonde. Not a bottle-job, she was too classy for that. She stepped into my office, leveled her gams at me, and I knew this was going to be a bad case.
She knew it, too.
"I've heard you're a detective."
"So they say." I wasn't gonna be helpful. Not with those killer legs promising sex, death, mayhem, danger -- all the things I'm not supposed to have. One day, I'd learn to bite my tongue.
"Got a job for you." Her hands opened the briefcase, and she tossed a sheaf of papers on my desk (I keep it clean just for this sorta instance). I took a minute to stare at her, take in the classically-tailored royal blue suit, the pristine white pearls in her ears. I was bettin' on her bein' a runaway school teacher.
"What's the deal?"
"No deal. Just a job."
