The Naked City
“The soul of a city. Her glory stripped! Her passion bared!”
CrimeMysteryThriller
After a former model is drowned in her bathtub, Detective James Halloran and Lieutenant Dan Muldoon attempt to piece together her murder.
VIBE
A stark, unflinching look at the city's underbelly. It feels like a true procedural, raw and immediate, with a palpable sense of urban grit and a melancholic, observational tone that pulls you into its dark, rain-slicked streets.
