Apollo Justice and the Devil's Serenade

As an up-and-coming private investigator at the Wright Anything Agency in 1940s Los Angeles, Apollo’s finally making his way in the world. There isn’t a case he can’t handle (even if most of them are trivial and awful to deal with), until late one night when popular nightclub singer Klavier Gavin bursts in with more money than Apollo knows what to do with and a plea to find his older brother.What starts as a normal missing persons case quickly becomes a mess when a body is found and the mystery begins to drag in those closest to him. There’s no backing down now, and Apollo just has to hope he can solve the case before it all comes crashing down.That might be easier said than done, especially with a client as enigmatic as his.— — —A 40s Noir AU starring Apollo as a private investigator and Klavier as his client. Written for the 2022 Klapollo Minibang.
