Los Angeles. 1964. Booker has just pulled himself out of the gutter after tumbling from the top of the pile. He plugged the phone back in. And wouldn't you know it? It rang.

A Tale of Two Redheads follows Shamus Booker, a wisecracking detective in 1960s Los Angeles, as he cruises the the Sunset Strip in search of a missing wife. But what starts off as just another humdrum wandering broad job soon lands Booker in hot water, with both the mafia and the local cops on his six. As he follows the clues deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole, Booker finds himself drawn into a wicked web of murder and intrigue exposing the gritty underbelly of Los Angeles. Put on your detective hat and join Booker as he tries to crack the case... before the case cracks him.
