Intensely Vivid Queer Historical Noir

After successfully pursuing his first case as an unintentional private investigator, disgraced former Sam Francisco Homicide inspector Evander "Andy" Mills now has an office and apartment provided by a club owner who was involved in his earlier case. But clients are few, and most cases involve tracking spouses or boyfriends. Andy, whose police job was terminated when his sexual orientation was revealed, primarily wants to help people. When a case comes up involving a wartime lover, he thinks this might be the opportunity he's wanted. But the case involves much more than simple blackmail excursion, and he will face a terrifying murderous psychopath.

This Series is so well-grounded in the culture of early 1950's San Francisco, and in the wider mindset of American government and military. I really felt I was experiencing life in that sometimes very ugly era.
