Noir is an expansion authored by Stephane Anquetil, a very talented writer with credentials including Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective scenarios as well as Escape Books and Box (404 éditions).

In Noir, the whole group is collectively representing one private detective with unconventional methods.You are Sam Spader, a private eye willing to find the truth—for whoever is paying. However, post-war Los Angeles is not always a friendly place. In the shadows, under the bright California sun, you’ll find Hollywood scandals, corrupt cops, merciless gangsters, blackmail, and murder. Watch your back, detective.

Instead of Forensic Contacts, players have 4 action cards they can use at any point and any moment:

Spy
Break-In
Bribe
Intimidate

You won't be able to intimidate everyone without repercussions.
Also, your money is in a shortage, so you can't bribe everyone you meet.
Noir really brings another side to crime busting!

This Expansion requires the base game (London) to be played. It also requires an app to work (it's impossible to play without it), but once downloaded no Internet connection is needed to play. You currently need Android 4.4 or newer, or iOS 8.0 or newer to run the app, which may change in the future.
