Synopsis
Brand-new stories by: Jeffery Deaver, Lawrence Block, Charles Ardai, Carol Lea Benjamin, Thomas H. Cook, Jim Fusilli, Liz Martinez, Maan Meyers, Martin Meyers, S.J. Rozan, Xu Xi, and others.From the introduction by Lawrence Block:"Readers of Brooklyn Noir will recall that its contents were labeled by neighborhood—Bay Ridge, Canarsie, Greenpoint, etc. We have chosen the same principle here, and the book's contents do a good job of covering the island, from Inwood and the Upper East Side, to Chelsea and Greenwich Village. The range in mood and literary style is at least as great; noir can be funny, it can stretch to include magic realism, it can be ample or stark, told in the past or present tense, and in the first or third person. I wouldn't presume to define noir—if we could define it, we wouldn't need to use a French word for it—but it seems to me that it's more a way of looking at the world than what one sees."
