FROM THE INTRODUCTION

So This book, though it has its light moments (and thank God for those), is for me the darkest of the Brooklyn Noir series. These pieces remind us that crime is personal. It happens to us and to our neighbors. Sometimes it happens because we do nothing to prevent it. Life does not always offer the moral arc we so desperately crave in fiction. If it did, we’d have no need for myths and fables, religion or miracles.

REVIEW

Brooklyn Noir is such a stunningly perfect combination that you can't believe you haven't read an anthology like this before. But trust me - you haven't. Story after story is a revelation, filled with the requisite sense of place, but also the perfect twists that crime stories demand. The writing is flat-out superb, filled with lines that will sing in your head for a long time to come. -Laura Lippman, winner of the Edgar, Shamus, and Agatha awards.
