The Dark Streets takes private investigator Jack Liffey to LA's glitzy, exotic Koreatown, where a young film student, Soon-Lin Kim, has apparently gone missing.

"Deve essere difficile per il vero colpevole sfuggire alle vostre investigazioni. Può non aver lasciato alcuna traccia materiale, ma voi cercate invece quelle morali e finite per trovarlo". Di Scerbanenco colpisce, soprattutto nei cinque gialli della serie con Arthur Jelling, il miscuglio di realismo e fantastico, di logica investigativa e psicologia. Un insieme che, ben amalgamato, dà ai suoi polizieschi una vaga atmosfera da cruda fiaba. L'effetto fiabesco è marcato dalla singolarità del timidissimo investigatore, dotato di una profondità psicologica da veggente.

Per contagiare l'ascoltatore, a Scerbanenco bastano pochi tratti. Già la presentazione iniziale, secca e lapidaria, degli Steve, i "filosofi", e del loro "antro", è sufficiente a rendere inevitabile il crimine. Il giallo si preannuncia subito come il dramma del fanatismo e delle sue conseguenze fatali.Sono quattro gli Steve, cultori teorici e pratici di scienze morali, vivono monacalmente in una squallida villetta di periferia, l'antro dei filosofi.
