MAX DEVINE P.I. FOR HIRE

Welcome to the world of Max Devine, P.I. For Hire.

Chicago, 1948. The war is over, the city is booming, and behind every bright headline lurks a shadow. 

Private Investigator Maxine “Max” Devine inherited more than just her father’s detective agency—she inherited his stubborn determination, sharp instincts, and belief that the truth is always hiding somewhere in plain sight. Armed with a camera, a quick wit, and an eye for details others miss, Max tackles the mysteries that slip through the cracks of a city built on secrets.

Alongside her loyal partner Samuel “Sammy” Callahan, Max navigates a world of missing persons, crooked politicians, dangerous criminals, smoky jazz clubs, suspicious photographs, and the occasional flying garbage can. Between the blues drifting up from Johnny’s Juke Joint, the wisdom left behind by her father Maxwell Devine, and the endless mysteries of Chicago, every case leads somewhere unexpected.

Whether you’re here for the suspense, the humor, the noir atmosphere, or the unforgettable characters, pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink, and step into Max Devine’s office. There’s always another mystery waiting behind the next knock on the door.
