Good work. You found my secret file cabinet of personal dossiers.

I'm working on a new case. You could help solve it and see your work in my next memoir. Here's a clue... A punk kid rode by on his bike and yelled "Hey Hammer! if you're looking for the truth, you can find it in the ten cent rag It's Pulp-Noir under a dime!". And with that he was gone.

"They say laughter's the best medicine. I guess that's why my doctor told me to quit journalism and start a clown college. But then I realized, most of the clowns are already in politics. And their jokes? Not nearly as funny as the ones I dig up on the daily."

"I tried to write a story about honesty in Washington, but my typewriter jammed. Must’ve sensed the lie before I did. Around here, truth’s an endangered species—spotted once a decade, stuffed, mounted, and trotted out for campaign season."

THE HAMMER UNDERGROUND

This is the Hammer Underground.

Jack Hammer has gone deep underground after receiving a threatening post-it from “The Controller”. Follow him as he tries to out run his reality. This is where stories are written and take form before the go to the HAMMER PUBLISHING presses or the studios at W-HAM-ER RADIO  This is where the Detective work begins.

Case Summary: The body showed up in a high-rise penthouse, dressed for a night out in a tux that cost more than a year’s rent in the slums. There’s no ID, no prints, and the only evidence is a single playing card—the Ace of Diamonds—left face-up on the dead man’s chest.
