A gritty and stylish thriller, Downtown Noir follows a writer who is pulled into a world of intrigue and murder, where the lines of fact and fiction become quickly blurred. Stories of kidnap, torture, drugs, and muder for hire pull our character deeper under until he can no longer remain the objective storyteller and threatens to become part of the story himself.

Patrik Hill is the author of Downtown Noir, as well as the essay and poetry collection, The Five Aces of Israel: reshuffled. A self-described adventure geek, he has traveled all over North America, Puerto Rico, and the Cayman Islands, exploring mountain trails, backcountry lakes, jungle canopies, and ocean reefs. A certified scuba diver, Patrik is as at home on land as he is beneath the water. Patrik has a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology from Montana State University emphasizing Criminal Justice. Patrik currently lives in Bozeman, Montana with his family, and is working on his next novels.
