Boulevard Dreams

By E. Ryan Janz

In this intelligent, clever, and darkly funny noir, down and out private eye, Joe Nails, has a problem. He endures a brief series of surrealistic dreams, in which his long-lost friend pleads for his help before turning a gun to his head and firing. Joe discovers his friend disappeared, a month before his dreams began, so he deepens his probe beneath the mystifying and smoky underbelly of 1958 San Francisco, and encounters rising walls of lies and heartbreak from amorous and anguished women alike, and stumbles across incomprehensible goons and vicious killers longing for further bliss, and where his long slow descent painfully binds him to a ruthless yet respectable kingpin bent on reigning over him. Joe Nails has a problem all right, an entire shopping list of them, but as he speeds down an unrelenting road of murder and mystery with no off-ramps, he just may solve a few...providing the approaching .357 yearning for another victim allows it.
