Sam and Twitch: The Writer #3

Two detectives loom over a bloodied, outstretched hand scrawled with an ominous message in the snow, with the Chrysler Building rising through a wintry New York sky behind them — it's a genuinely unsettling image that captures the hard-boiled mood of this crime fiction mini-series perfectly. Part three of four, Sam and Twitch: The Writer keeps the pressure building as Image's gritty detective duo closes in on whatever dark truth lies at the heart of this case. If you've been following along, this penultimate chapter looks like it delivers exactly the tense, street-level atmosphere the series promises.
