## Description
Get ready to dive into the shadowy streets of 1940s Los Angeles with 'Detective: Saints & Sinners', the latest expansion for the already acclaimed 'Detective: City of Angels'. If you enjoy narrative-driven games that transport you to another era, this is for you! Here, most players step into the shoes of LAPD homicide detectives, tasked with unraveling complex crimes using all available tools and tricks. But beware, as one player takes on the role of 'The Chisel', the master of sabotage, who will do everything to hinder the investigation. This expansion introduces three new intriguing cases, crafted by renowned designers such as Alara Cameron, William Kenyon, and Logan Giannini. To enhance the immersion, the visuals remain spectacular with art by Vincent Dutrait, now joined by Roland MacDonald and Magdalena Płoszkiewicz, who add their special touch to the City of Angels. The cases include 'One Last Hit for the Hitman', where a mob capo meets a mysterious end; 'Cloak & Daggered', involving spies and secrets amidst bloodshed in the streets; and 'Blast from the Past', about a decorated police captain who becomes a victim of an explosion with a list of enemies as long as your arm. The action points and area movement mechanics ensure every decision is crucial, while the cooperative nature of the game demands teamwork to overcome the challenges posed by 'The Chisel' and the plot itself. It's an expansion that promises twists and plenty of investigation for fans of mystery and crime.
