Noir deals with the disenfranchised: people who can't catch a break under normal circumstances. In noir books, you root for these people, but you know they are going to fail. That's what makes them so compellingly human. I can relate to that kind of stuff.

When we look at our justice system, we have this image of a balancing scale: truth and justice, right and wrong.
