Seattle, 1948. When Police Officer Charles Hacksaw Sawyer is found dead with two bullets to the face, the department calls it suicide. Chief of Detectives Mike Ketchum isn't buying it-but his investigation is quickly shut down by higher-ups. Desperate for the truth, Ketchum turns to private detectives Alan Stewart and Vera Deward, a sharp-witted duo unafraid to work outside the law.
As Alan and Vera follow a trail of lies, they're drawn deep into the city's seedy underbelly-through smoke-filled opium dens, back-alley tattoo parlors, and Chinatown's most notorious pleasure palace. Their search uncovers a tangled web of corruption implicating over forty cops, former bootleggers, and the powerful crime boss Goon Dip Wong.
With the police against them and killers lurking in every shadow, can Alan and Vera expose the truth behind Sawyer's death-or will they become the next victims in a city that protects its secrets at all costs?
Perfect for fans of Raymond Chandler, James Ellroy, and classic noir, Seattle 1948 delivers a gripping tale of murder, betrayal, and justice in postwar America.
