Summary: AU: Jack and Ianto are private detectives, investigating the disappearance of a wealthy businessman. All is not as it seems in this case that involves infidelity, the mob and murder. Written for Torchwood Big Bang Round Two.
A/N 1: This story is written in the style of the hard-boiled American crime fiction of the early 20th century, except there’s a certain amount of Janto fluff. I call it “fluff noir.” This is the sequel to The Darian Con.
A/N 2: The germ of an idea for this story came from this New York Times Op-Ed about towns in southern Italy where African immigrants are the only ones standing up to the mafia. There’s no way my humble fic is a fitting tribute to their courage and sacrifice, but I did want to make note.
