1940s L.A. Noir Mystery: Detective Ray "Silk" Voss Unravels a Deadly Frame in The Crimson Alibi
Ray "Silk" Voss, a jaded private eye with a fixer's scars, takes on a case that drags him through the seedy heart of 1940s Los Angeles in The Crimson Alibi. A sultry dame named Clara Dane hires him to free her lover, screenwriter Paul Harker, who's been nabbed for the murder of Majestic Studios producer Max Steiner—his skull cracked, a bloody typewriter ribbon pinning the crime on Harker. But Silk smells a setup, especially with Det.
Eddie Grimes smirking too hard. Digging from dive bars to starlet penthouses, Silk uncovers a blackmail ledger that ties Steiner's death to a conspiracy—and his own name, inked in '44, when he buried secrets for Majestic. Clara's playing him, Harker's a patsy, and the real killer is Vince Marwood, a producer from Silk's past with a grudge as old as the scars they share. As bullets fly and betrayals stack, Silk must unravel the truth before Marwood's vengeance buries him for good. This 15-part pulp noir saga delivers a gritty dance of deception, revenge, and redemption in Hollywood's golden age, where every alibi comes with a price.
