In a Chandleresque 1920s New York, Toys Day comes after Wednesday

Welcome to Murdernight Noir. In the seedy backstreets of downtown 1920s New York, a private investigator stubs out his cigarette and, by the light of the flickering neon signs outside is about to reach for his hat and coat when he receives an unexpected late-night visit from a most unusual - and beautiful - client. She carries an invitation to a birthday party being held in honour of her husband, Big Joe - a hoodlum who has more than his fair share of enemies. Sensuously, Bella confides to the gumshoe that she needs a man - one who can find out who is trying to kill her husband.
