High & Low is the original campaign for New York Noir created by Jesse Reichler.

The protagonist of High & Low is Jack Deverell, who gets his start in the NYPD Financial Crimes division in the late 1920s, and whose father was a well-known homicide detective, who was accused of wrong-doing and kicked off the force before Jack became a police officer.

There are a set of about a dozen "contacts" that Jack has access to, which are currently described here:

This sheet of contact info can also be found in the High & Low cases starting with The Wrong Book, though they aren't fully used until the case Foxtrot East.
