Right Here, Right Noir
I've been doing a lot of reading lately, hoping for inspiration. After reading several crime thrillers and being disappointed, I've decided to write my own non-cliched novel.
My novel will be centered around a man in prison for a crime he did commit, and a mafia hitman who has no problems killing women, children, and dogs. There's a hooker without a heart of gold, but rather with a fiery crotch of chlamydia. Tracking the case is a policeman with two weeks until retirement, who has one last case he doesn't care at all about solving.
Some of the minor characters will be a henchman who's a former ballet dancer, a PI who keeps breaking the laws the cops wish they could break, and also keeps getting arrested for it, a wisecracking bartender who's new in town and doesn't know anybody, and a mafia don who spends nights surfing Match.com.
The story begins with the murder of a bookie who takes odds on "Big Brother," and a shipment of guns coming into town from an arms dealer with a huge comic book collection.
I plan to have the case solved by a former cop who drinks, but not too much.

Your idea sounds hysterical. I look forward to walking into my local Barnes and Noble and purchasing it.
Suggestions for inspiration (when developing characterization):
Any of the Janet Evanovich bounty hunter novels. Evanovich really creates funny characters and lots of them.
Striptease: The book is a hoot. The movie sucks. 'Nuff said.
Good Luck!!!
