What is Blues and Bullets?
Blues and Bullets is a dark crime thriller set in an alternate story involving Eliot Ness and Al Capone.
Ness, formerly the leader of the Untouchables, runs a diner in Santa Esperanza after leaving law enforcement. When children begin disappearing and the police do not act, he resumes the investigation.
