Who Killed One the Gun? is a cozy noir. Third-rate PI One the Gun is one minute from dead. Just as he realizes his time is up, he wakes up … back in his head. Two the True Blue is by his side, but the question remains who made One die. Now as the day runs on repeat, One must find his killer or die in defeat. One the Gun is working the case of Five the No Longer Alive. A minor heavy, he runs The Dive Inn, a former seafood restaurant turned bar with off-the-books cards in the back. One the Gun’s suspects are the wife, Six the Kicks, a preacher with a gambling habit, Seven the Heaven, the former restaurant owner turned bartender, Eight the First Mate, and the doorman aka bouncer, Four the Door. Somewhere in the conversations with each of these suspects, One the Gun thinks he must have heard something that led to someone shooting and killing him in the basement of his office building. If he could only figure out what that “something” was, maybe he could survive and break the loop.
Bottom line: Who Killed One the Gun? is for you if you like your noir more witty than gritty.
