An unnamed city, in which crime families flourish and the police pinch pennies from those with most power...
Black Sails, Disco Inferno is a retelling of the classic medieval romance of Tristan and Isolde, turning things on their head by reversing the sex of the chief protagonists and placing them in a '70's pulp/noir world.
Andrez Bergen's latest novel exposes layers of the bullet-riddled pulp/noir world of Trista and Issy amidst a sensual, disco-infused narrative overflowing with shady schemes, double dealings, cruel brutality and spellbinding mystery.

“The dark, brooding world of Trista and Issy is compelling.” —SCI-FI JUBILEE
“Trista is a breath of fresh air.”
—MARA WOOD

—FLICKERING MYTH

—FANBOY COMICS
“Slow-burning, hard-boiled noir.”
—DAVID MELTON
“Bergen shows once again he has a firm grasp on the concepts of noir literature – perhaps due in part to his readings of Chandler and Hammett (two of the genre’s best), and his consistent great work on Bullet Gal.”
—ALL-COMIC
“A really interesting journey from innocent child to cold-blooded killer.”
—BIG GLASGOW COMIC PAGE
