Synopsis

[CRIME/OMEGAVERSE] Was it possible for the devil to get his own happy ending? A major accident seven years ago had stolen He Juan’s memory away from him, wiping it so clean that the only things he was left with were only his name, numerous scars all over his body and a nasty side effect as a result of the aftermath. Seven years passed by and when He Juan thought he could live like a normal person again, a fateful day led him to be the prime suspect of the murder case of his neighbor who had written his name as her dying message — whom, in his defense, he had not even talked to! It was then that he met Mu Yuze, the lone wolf of the Violent Crime Investigation Unit; the cold, intimidating man with beautiful and intense midnight blue eyes who seemed to hate him at first sight for some reason He Juan couldn’t comprehend. One after another, bizarre cases intruded on He Juan's normal life and turned it upside down, bringing light to a dusty past he thought he could never remember again. In the end, he had to learn that even if he had forgotten who he once was… there were still some sins he had to atone. *** Gentle, klutzy and smiling Alpha whom nobody dares to offend for some mysterious reason x cold, possessive and cinnamon roll Omega (maybe a little yandere here and there) Additional tags: top/gong/seme protagonist, action, case-solving, organized crime, thriller, gore, slice of life, tragedy, detectives, disabled characters, murders, teamwork, investigation, yaoi, mature, past plays a big part, 1 vs 1, love interest falls in love first Find me on: Instagram: delanasiwarka Discord: delanasiwarka#1490 Discord server: bit.ly/delanadiscord

Some excellent film noir detective novels include 'Double Indemnity' by James M. Cain. It tells a story of an insurance salesman getting involved in a murder - for - profit scheme. 'The Postman Always Rings Twice' by Cain as well is a great example. It has a seedy atmosphere and a doomed love affair at its core. Also, 'A Kiss Before Dying' by Ira Levin features a devious plot where a young man will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, and it has elements of detective work within the noir framework.

Sure. 'The Thin Man' by Dashiell Hammett is a great choice. It combines detective work with a bit of humor and a loving couple at the center. Another is 'The Lady in the Lake' by Raymond Chandler, which has a unique narrative structure as the detective goes undercover in a small town. 'Devil in a Blue Dress' by Walter Mosley is also worth reading. It features an African - American detective in a noir - ish Los Angeles setting.

Well, the narrative style in film noir detective novels is often non - linear. It jumps around in time, which adds to the sense of confusion and mystery. The dialogue is sharp and full of double entendres. The characters, especially the femme fatales, are very alluring yet dangerous. They use their charm to manipulate the male characters, usually the detective, who often find themselves in over their heads because of these women.

One of the best is 'Sin City' by Frank Miller. It's a classic in the genre. The dark, gritty art style and the hard - boiled noir stories are perfectly combined. The characters are complex and the city itself is like a character, full of danger and mystery.
