Introducing Kitty Pangborn: A Bold New Heroine with A Classic Noir Style

Dex is tall and dreamy. Oh sure, he’s a mook but he’s the kind of mook that can heat a girl’s socks, if you follow my drift. The kind that can get your lipstick melting. It’s never going to happen for me and Dex. Most days I don’t really want it to anyway. Dex is my boss, first and foremost. The work is easy and, most weeks, Dex remembers to cut me a check. That’s important; a girl’s gotta eat. And there are worse ways to make a living. A lot worse.
