While it is often taken to mean a dangerous woman, who can be fatal to those who encounter her, in noir it's not always a direct danger. She is an agent of change, of chaos, introduced into a man's already precarious existence. She might ignite that flicker of hope in him, she may touch that tangled knot of his honor more directly than any other thing could. She is a threat, as hope is too much to bear in the gritty grimy world of the noir city painted in brutal shades of gray and black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA man will do a lot for love. Even if he doesn't hope to win her hand, the tarnished knight of a noir tale will lay down his life to protect his honor... or hers. With the tales in this book, those pin-ups are brought to life, stepping out of their poster-paper dimensions and into full life. Deadly, dangerous, not always in a physical sense, but in the most feminine of power, wielding glory, bringing a little light with them into the shadows of despair.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45558441803927,"sku":"9798311437356","price":1448.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798311437356.webp?v=1768593867","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/sultry-murder-jazz-pinup-noir-9798311437356","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
