Introducing ANGEL CITY, a hard-boiled 1930s noir starring Dolores Dare, previous Hollywood hopeful and current enforcer for the Volante mob. When her best friend turns up dead in a dumpster behind the Chinese Theater, Dolores starts her own investigation of the "April Fool's Killer." As she gets closer to the truth, Dolores will go up against the studios, the corrupt homicide division, and even her own gangland contacts—and uncover a scandal that shakes the very foundations of Tinseltown.

Review

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY-Dolores Dare was once a starry-eyed ingénue, fresh off the bus from Muncie with a heart full of Hollywood dreams. Today, she's an enforcer whose life is confined to Tinseltown's shadows. When an old friend shows up in a dumpster, however, the tension between Dare's past and present peaks-with violent results. Dare is embittered, exhausted, but ultimately hungry for justice. Though this midcentury noir treads familiar ground-slain starlets, mob bosses making their moves, intrepid journalists getting their hands dirty-Harvey (Batman) presents the story with style and verve. Levens (Madame Frankenstein) brings a wonderful visual weight to the cast: dresses drape luxuriously, suits strain at the shoulders, and the set lights throw the glamour and decay into sharp relief. This is Hollywood mystery at its most classic.
