Brand-new experiences by: Daniel Woodrell, Matthew Eck, Catherine Browder, Nancy Pickard, John Lutz, J. Malcolm Garcia, Kevin Prufer, Linda Rodriguez, Nadia Pflaum, Phong Nguyen, Andres Rodriguez, and more. Kansas City: where East and Western world collide, where nude ambition meets shattered dreams, where blues and the night time go along like rye whiskey, vermouth, and bitters. Yes, Kansas City is a surprising host to grit, gore, and betrayal, at least in the imaginations of our diverse lineup of contributors. Kansas City Noir, another in Akashic's series of geographically specific anthologies, peels again the aura of civility and captures the organic truths of the individual condition as resided in this heartland, third-coast city. Among the collection's contributors are Daniel Woodrell, writer of the modern common Winter's Bone and the recent, much lauded history collection, The Outlaw Recording; Matthew Eck, writer of the noted war novel The Farther Shore; veteran short-fiction copy writer Catherine Browder; Edgar Award-winning puzzle novelists Nancy Pickard and John Lutz; and J. Malcolm Garcia, whose reporting from the war in Afghanistan informs a disturbing story of restless angst and dislocation. Kansas City Noir requires a compelling head to of the roadways of a vibrant American city, complete with accents of jazz, barbecue, and the deeply rooted blues.
