It's not every day you investigate your own murder. When the police find a body that looks a lot like private investigator Joe Garrison, it's time for Joe to find out who did it and if he was the intended victim, before the police try to blame him for it. Follow Joe through a world of dirty thugs, dirtier cops, and treacherous dames in 1930s Portland, Oregon - a world where morality might be black and white but the truth is always a shade of gray and where Joe may find out along the way that Murder is Suicide. Murder is Suicide's Joe Garrison follows in the shadowy footsteps of Chandler's Philip Marlowe and Hammett's Sam Spade, but with his own cynical take on the world filtered through several glasses of whiskey, glaring personality flaws, and the piercing insight of the femme fatale he encounters. Garrison experiences historical events, circumstances, and locations of Portland, Oregon in 1937 while he seemingly investigates his own murder, mixed in with novel inventions for the sake of the narrative.
