Content

An anthology of noir short stories under the editorship of Neal Pollack.
The city of Chicago has spent much time and money over the last decade marketing itself as a tourist-friendly destination for the whole family. The stories in this anthology reclaim a Chicago where people struggle to survive and where, for many, crime is the only means for their survival – a Chicago once depicted by James Farrell and Nelson Algren.
