The Shadowy Slicker - Noir Audio Drama
Allur for Amory DeWolfe
Amory DeWolfe is an anti-hero freelance criminal whose sole motivation is money and commanding respect. He lacks most heroic qualities, but his smooth talking and charismatic personality seeps through his trench coat and fedora. He is a hard hitter when it comes to drinking, but is more than willing to do any job that pays.
