Title: Semiclad
Description: Victoria Johnson - prominent, pretty, and promiscuous - wants out of her marriage and out of a stifling town. She succeeds only through her brutal death. The city, trapped in a time warp of crime, racism and economic downturn, is a corroded grommet in what remains of the nation's Rust Belt. Cynical newspaper reporter Michael Haley and homicide detective John Heinz, whose own personal lives appear in decline, team up to solve the mystery of Victoria Johnson's death.
