Why this must be read:

The X-Files goes Raymond Chandler. Need I say more?

There are few truly successful comic stories in XF fandom, but this is one of my favourites. The noir pastisch is wonderfully executed, filled with the right kind of terse wit and clever word-games, as well as the proper mix of misanthropy and romanticism. And, to make it all perfect, there is an extra, hilarious twist - the gender roles are reversed.

Really, this is total crack fic, but if you're a fan of the type of movies where rough but noble private eyes drink too much scotch and have their hearts torn out and stomped on by Lauren Bacall's razor-sharp heels, you're going to love it. And The Theban Band's period appropriate illustrations are guaranteed to at least make you crack a smile. As a sucker for all things noir, I'm not ashamed to admit that I have a serious crush on this story.
