Hello. I'm J.I. Jung and Death Avenue is my debut novel. It is written in the Hardboiled tradition of Dashiell Hammett and James M. Cain. It takes place in New York after the end of World War One. I do my best examine the era with historical accuracy and a clear view of New York's glamour and squalor.
