Synopsis The pistol-packing prostitutes of Sin City's Old Town are free agents, owing nothing either to pimps or to the mob, and they're prepared to fight to keep it that way. But their fragile truce with the police threatens to shatter when a particularly thuggish cop named Jackie-Boy gets killed on their turf. War is about to erupt on the streets, unless the ladies' leader, Gail; their crack assassin, Miho; and a not-so-white-knight, ex-con Dwight, can prevent the police from getting their hands on the evidence (i.e., Jackie-Boy's corpse). Perfectly complementing the brutally satisfying text, the stylized black-and-white art--a study in sharp contrasts reminiscent of woodcuts--pulls no punches. This noir graphic novel is the third story arc in the Sin City series, and its plot serves as one of the three storylines used in the 2005 SIN CITY film, starring Rosario Dawson as Gail, Clive Owen as Dwight, and Benicio del Toro as Jackie-Boy.

Industry Reviews "SIN CITY is what happens when an artist like Miller...goes off the reservation, without the constraints that come with writing stories with an established hero like Batman or Daredevil. The artwork is bold, harshly monochromatic, thrillingly violent....[SIN CITY: THE HARD GOODBYE is] pitch-black funny and strangely touching....[P]ractically unforgettable. These pages leave scars, baby." Kirkus online - Chris Barsanti (03/31/2005)
