Written like a script from Film Noir movie, you are to be transported to a time in the 30's, 40's or 50's, where the liquor flowed freely and there was always a Crosley radio playing in some room off in the distance. Pulp Noir is more about a small slice or life...and usually a dark one.... Pour yourself a nice warm drink, dim the lights...conjure up in your consciousness; Femme Fatales, handguns, seedy bars, bad luck, thieves, scoundrels, a pack of Pall Mall's, low lighting, and definitely everything in glorious black and white.

لم يكن السيد ساترثويت يعلم يقينًا ما الذي يحمله على الاحتفاظ بعلاقته بالسيد والسيدة دنمان، فهما لا يشبهانه في شيء؛ إنهما لا ينتميان من حيث الجذور إلى العالم المتقدم، ولا ينتميان إلى الأوساط الفنية المثيرة للاهتمام، بل كانا ماديا النزعة، وكانا فوق ذلك شخصين مملين بليدين حقًّا. فأول مرة التقى السيد ساترثويت بهما كانت في بلدة بياريتز الفرنسية، وقد قبل دعوتهما إياه للبقاء معهما، ثم ذهب إليهما وأصابه الملل، ومن الغريب أنه استمر في الذهاب إليهما مع ذلك. لماذا؟ كان يسأل نفسه هذا السؤال في ذلك اليوم الموافق الواحد والعشرين من شهر يونيو، وهو ينطلق مسرعًا خارج لندن بسيارته الرولز رويس.
