[1058] Blue Angel

Enjoy Blue Angel

This is the first chapter of a novel I'm working. A bit of background: The story is a private detective story, similar in approach to the hardboiled works of Hammett, Chandler and Macdonald. The story is set in New York City in 1937. The protagonist is a female private investigator named Morgan Callahan. The first chapter serves as a bit of an introduction to Morgan and a case she was working on. The next chapter deals with the case that will propel the plot for the rest of the book. Any and all critiques are welcome regarding pacing, character, grammar and writing style. Pick it apart, tear it down if you must, anything to make it better I greatly appreciate it.
