Summary

Fiction. Edited by, S.J. Rozan. This award-winning series of original noir anthologies was launched in 2004 with BROOKLYN NOIR. Each book is comprised of all-new stories, each one set in a district neighborhood or location within the city of the book. Here, best-selling crime writer S.J. Rozan corrals a diverse crew of celebrated authors to highlight the dark magnificence of her native New York City borough. "The Bronx had been home to big time gangsters from the Jewish organized crime of Murder Inc. and the Italian Cosa Nostra to the equally organized drug-dealing gangstas of today. Many places in the Bronx seem hidden in shadows, just as the Bronx itself is in Manhattan's shadows"-S.J.Rozan.
