Ever wonder where the name of this site comes from? No? Well it comes from this 80 page, illustrated, lit-noir novella.

When a mysterious artifact, looted from the Algerian desert by French occupiers, goes missing, a thief-eat-thief bonanza ensues over final possession. Enter four characters who all feel morally entitled to the prize: Habibi Al Adiz - the mustachio waxing professional theif, Pierre Rensard - Algiers' begrudging Cheif of Police, Sylvia Longshot - ex-pat English gun-runner-come-suspected-husband-murderer, and Savid - proprietor of the local underground gambling establishment. A little bit Casablanca, a little bit who-dunnit and a whole lot of entertainment.
