New Yorks punchiest borough asserts its criminal legacy with all new stories from a magnificent set of todays best writers. Brooklyn Noir moves from Coney Island to Bedford-Stuyvesant to Bay Ridge to Red Hook to Bushwick to Sheepshead Bay to Park Slope and far deeper, into the heart of Brooklyns historical and criminal largesse, with all of its dark splendor.

Brooklyn Noir mixes masters of the mystery genre with the best of New Yorks literary fiction communityand, of course, leaves room for new blood. These brilliant and chilling stories see crime striking in communities of Russians, Jamaicans, Hasidic Jews, Puerto Ricans, Italians, Irish and many other ethnicitiesin the most diverse urban location on the planet.

Akashic Books announces Brooklyn novelist Tim McLoughlin as the editor of the anthology (in addition to his contributing a story). McLoughlins respect on any Brooklyn street predates the publication of his debut novel Heart of the Old Country (Akashic, 2001), a selection of the Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Program that was hailed by Entertainment Weekly as an inspired cross between Richard Price and Ross McDonald. For years, McLoughlin has worked in the Kings County Supreme Court in downtown Brooklyn.
Praise for McLoughlins Heart of the Old Country:
. . . cracks with the authenticity that only a writer with a perfect ear can accomplish.Bob Leuci, author of Blaze
McLoughlin writes about South Brooklyn with a fidelity to people and place reminiscent of James T. Farrells Studs Lonigan and George Orwells Down and Out in Paris and London.Sidney Offit, author of Memoir of the Bookies Son
