“Capital Crimes” follows the investigations of Detective Jack Lanning, a cynical and brilliant homicide detective operating in the politically charged atmosphere of Missouri’s capital city, Jefferson City. The series blends classic noir detective fiction with a sharp, satirical look at corruption and small-town dynamics, offering a darkly humorous and suspenseful exploration of crime and justice. Truman’s work distinguishes itself with Lanning’s dry wit and the series’ focus on local Missouri politics.
