“She Had a Face You Couldn’t Forget—Even If You Tried”

Author’s Tranquility Press proudly unveils a knockout entry into the modern noir canon: “Sam Razor, Private Investigator: His First Case – The Blonde with the Bad Nose Job” by Carlo Armenise—a crime novel that’s as dark as it is dry, and as punchy as a.45 slug to the chest.

The case takes place in Las Vegas, where dreams melt faster than ice in a highball glass. Sam Razor is the last honest man on a street filled with phony smiles and twisted motives. When a peroxide blonde walks into his office and hires Sam to find her sister, Razor figures he’s seen it all before. But this one’s different. The sister has the tell-tale sign of a botched nose job and a secret no one sees coming.

“She had secrets tucked under that bad nose job, and none of them smelled right.”

Carlo Armenise doesn’t just write noir—he revives it. With biting dialogue, noir-drenched atmosphere, and a leading man who’s half philosopher, half wise-cracking bruiser, Armenise brings readers a fresh, fierce, and ferociously fun debut mystery.

What Makes Sam Razor a Must-Read:

• A Detective Worth Following: Sam Razor is cynical, sharp, and two steps ahead of the people trying to kill him.
• A Plot That Sprints: Twists, reveals, and double-crosses unfold like a deck of aces on a rigged table.
• Dialogue That Bites: Every page simmers with snark, swagger, and noir soul.
• Classic Crime, Contemporary Edge: The charm of vintage P.I. Tales meets the grit of modern storytelling.

For Fans Of:

• Raymond Chandler, Mickey Spillane, and early Elmore Leonard
• Netflix’s Jessica Jones, HBO’s Perry Mason, or anything starring a trench coat and attitude

Sam Razor doesn’t just solve crimes—he digs through the wreckage of people’s lives to find what’s real. And in this world, what’s real might get you killed.
