Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each story is set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the city of the book.
Brand-new stories by: Denis Hamill, Maggie Estep, Megan Abbott, Robert Knightly, Liz MartÃnez, Jill Eisenstadt, Mary Byrne, Tori Carrington, Shailly P. Agnihotri, k.j.a. Wishnia, Victoria Eng, Alan Gordon, Belinda Farley, Joseph Guglielmelli, Patricia King, Kim Sykes, Jillian Abbott, Stephen Solomita, and Glenville Lovell.
From the introduction by Robert Knightly:
Queens is New York City's biggest borough, with the most parks and cemeteries, both major airports, Shea Stadium, the city's only racetrack, and 150 languages spoken by more foreign-born residents than live anywhere else in the U.S. No wonder Queens has attitude. And plenty of noir to go around. That's the premise of Queens Noir. I chose these nineteen authors for their solid connections to the borough, not to mention their skewed worldviews.
