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.”
