Synopsis:
Noir Confidential draws upon the era of filmmaking known as Film Noir. Today, the genre is called Neo-Noir, but the same concepts, tropes, and techniques are used to reflect today's feelings of inevitability, cynicism and defeat. The pessimism, distrust, and greed displayed in classic Film Noir movies like "The Maltese Falcon" and "The Third Man" speak to a society racked by geopolitical conflict and economic disparity. All the elements that sparked the Film Noir heyday have returned to haunt society, and a new class of cynical anti-heroes and manipulative Femme Fatales have arrived to exorcise their demons by finding their elusive MacGuffin. Occasionally we will present a classic radio play from the 1940s and early 50s: some Dashiell Hammett (Sam Spade) and Raymond Chandler (Philip Marlowe), but to be completely upfront we are here to promote audiobooks in general and more specifically my own books like Deception, Delusion, Dilemma, Diversion, and Defection.Coming very soon is a special Noir Confidential Premiere Exclusive, CULT - The Podcast Movie. That's right podcast fans, we're bringing back Theatre of The Mind, radio plays for the podcast era. CULT is a movie script I wrote based on a short story published in my book Noir II. I've rewritten the story and turned it into a movie script. It is currently being produced as a special presentation just for my podcast subscribers. I hope you enjoy it.

TRailer for "The Axel Files: The Cherub and The Chariot"

The Axel Files:
The Cherub & The Chariot
Written by Jerry Bader

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1998437051?ref_=pe_93986420_774957520
Private Investigator Axel Webb is drawn into an intricate web of revolution, greed, and infidelity when his Russian nemesis, gangster Vladimir Bok, pressures Axel to find a missing Fabergé Egg: an exquisite example of Russian Imperial craftsmanship that disappeared sometime in the 1930s.
Wealthy Americans jumped at the chance to collect these works of art when successive Bolshevik regimes sold off these national treasures to fund their political and economic incompetence. Decades later, national pride demanded the repatriation of as many of the fifty-two eggs created as possible. Most of the eggs are accounted for, except six. One of the six has been dubbed The Cherub and The Chariot due to its design, described as a gold putto pulling a cart that holds a bejewelled, gold egg that opens to reveal a clock. The House of Fabergé created the egg for Tsar Alexander III to give to his wife, Maria Feodorovna, for Easter in 1885.
Axel is approached by Monty Brown, a former colleague he worked with, to find the egg. Monty is an art expert and conman by trade, but Axel ignores Monty’s penchant for double-dealing because he’s a friend. And because Bok threatened to kill Monty if he couldn’t get Axel to help.
Bok isn’t your average mobster; he’s connected to the one man who controls everything in Russia: the other Vladimir. He's been given diplomatic status, so he's free to do whatever is necessary to find and purchase the missing eggs. Axel's expertise is finding lost or stolen works of art, so Bok needs his help, but Axel and Bok have too much history for Bok to contact Axel directly, so he uses Monty as his go-between.
Reluctantly, Axel takes on the case that leads him to Hollywood, an estate lawyer, a disgraced former movie star, and the great-granddaughter of the illegitimate daughter of the oil baron who the Kremlin ordered to turn the Imperial treasures into cash. But nothing Axel does is ever uncomplicated. During the hunt for the missing Easter egg, Axel discovers what he thinks is a missing Oscar plaque that could be the one rumoured to have been stolen during the 1938 Academy Awards. The discovery is somehow connected to the missing egg.
Success in the case of The Cherub and Chariot is an elusive objective. A fat fee doesn’t balance the betrayal Axel feels when the truth is finally revealed.

Deception
Written by Jerry Bader
The world is a dangerous place, and every country has men and women tasked to protect it. These people go by many names: secret agent, intelligence officer, and analyst are just a few. Harry is one such person. He is an analyst. He spends his time reading, researching, and analyzing, followed by writing reports that often never see the light of day.
Harry is well educated with a seemingly important job, but Harry is bored. Bored, because analysts never get to be the hero, never get to order cocktails stirred not shaken, and, never, never, get the girl. Harry is frustrated, frustrated because his superiors told him the report he just spent six months working on is to be tabled, and no, he can’t have a field operative to work with to follow up.
Harry has one very dangerous character flaw, he has an imagination, not something the men on the Top Floor appreciate. Harry needs to prove himself; he needs some excitement in his life, and that excitement comes in a deadly package of intrigue and murder that combines something called the Sister Project with a Russian master spy, H. K. Kyrsa, code name, the Beautiful Rat, and the devastatingly gorgeous Harriet. The question is, is it all just happening in Harry’s head, or is there a real plot that needs to be stopped? Is Harry just plain crazy, or are the Russians out to mess with the West one more time? Harry is on his own, not sure who to trust. Are there any good guys in the world of espionage? The only way to find out is to find Kyrsa, the Beautiful Rat. Join Harry in his search for what may not even be real.
