When the Sun Sets, Chicago Belongs to Crime
Dick Tracy: After Hours by Gabriel McDonald
Chicago, 1932. The neon lights buzz, jazz drifts from club doors, and the alleys whisper with the footsteps of men who run the city from the shadows. By day, they wear suits. By night, they own the streets, until one man dares to push back.
Dick Tracy: After Hours is more than a detective story. It’s a pulse-pounding dive into the world of mob bosses, crooked deals, and the relentless pursuit of justice. Author Gabriel McDonald takes readers past the badge and into the night, where Tracy must fight not just for order, but for survival.
What Awaits Beyond the Yellow Fedora
- Chicago on the Brink: Rival mobs are collapsing, but the power vacuum is deadlier than the turf wars ever were.
- A New Breed of Villains: Ominous. Clover. Specks. These aren’t the gangsters of old—they’re smarter, hungrier, and far more ruthless.
- The Man Behind the Badge: Tracy’s fight doesn’t stop when the clock strikes five. “After hours” is when justice is hardest to find, and when he’s needed most.
- Allies Worth Bleeding For: A rookie partner, Joe Buzzer. A loyal hound, Eliot. In a city this corrupt, trust is rarer than gold.
Why This Story Hooks You
Tracy isn’t invincible. He bleeds, he doubts, he fights against impossible odds. And that’s what makes him compelling. After Hours takes you deeper into his world than ever before, asking: What kind of man keeps chasing justice when everyone else has gone home? This is noir at its sharpest, fast-paced, gritty, and packed with tension that lingers long after you turn the last page.
