Synopsis

If you lose a black cape, and can't go to the cops, then you come to me because that's what I do. I've been in the game for years. I know all the curves and all the angles, and if it gets rough then so be it, I got plenty strength, I'm double tough, and I never quit. And if need be I'll pull my artillery to get you some answers, because I don't care about the mistakes you've made or how you chose to live your life, sometimes even the unjust deserve a little justice. At least that's how it was before the world's greatest superhero was mysteriously murdered. Now I got five days to find the killer before a powered civil war consumes my city. But getting to the truth won't be easy. I'll have to face ruthless black capes with secrets to hide, a powerful government agency bent on national expansion, and even teams of mighty white caped heroes whose intentions are less than pure. No easy task for a small time PI, so I'll need every bit of strength and guts if I'm going to find the killer, save my city, and maybe even get some justice for the greatest hero the world has ever known. Critically acclaimed Dane Curse is a mix of white knuckled action, dark deeds, and dangerous curves sure to satisfy any fan of DC comics and Mickey Spillane. So buy a copy today, and take a high stakes ride through Gold Coast City with the most original PI since Harry Dresden!
