TRANSGRESSIVE NOIR FOR GENRE PURISTS
HOGTOWN NOIR
From a fresh new voice in fiction.
HOGTOWN NOIR
People say Toronto’s changed. Some see a shining city on a hill. Others call it The Six. But we all know it’s a pyramid scheme. A rigged game. An equity machine captured by greedy banks and faceless corporations.Down in Hogtown, the city is a snake-pit. A seedy underworld where might equals right and if you’re wrong—you’re dead.Hogtown is the invisible city. The realm of gangsters and grifters and vagrants with nothing left to lose. It’s not a neighbourhood. Not a single part of town. It’s the places you’ve forgotten. It’s the people that you’ve left behind.It’s where you’ll find William Keele, the anti-hero with a short fuse and a checkered past and a knack for solving problems. This is the Toronto you won’t see on the screen. This is Hogtown Noir.
