Noir characters, unreliable narrators, and thriller archetypes — the literary tradition of fiction that plays with perception, memory, and the reader's confidence in what's real. In the tradition of Gillian Flynn, Patricia Highsmith, and the film noir canon: characters for readers who want fiction that keeps them guessing.
