New Haven Noir (Akashic Noir #0)
by Chris Knopf Sarah Pemberton Strong Hirsh Sawhney David Rich Amy Bloom Roxana Robinson Karen E. Olson Stephen L. Carter Jessica Speart Jonathan Stone Alice Mattison John Crowley Chandra Prasad Michael Cunningham Lisa D. GrayLisa D. Gray's story "The Queen of Secrets" won the Robert L. Fish Memorial Award!John Crowley's story "Spring Break" won the 2018 Edgar Award for Best Short Story!"In an Ivy League town, Bloom turns Yale's motto--Lux et Veritas--on its head, finding darkness and deceit in every corner of New Haven...The stories Bloom chooses share a strong sense of place, detailing the quirks that make every corner of New Haven distinctive. But it's the lucid writing and clear, compelling storylines that make her dark tales shine. Maybe she offers a noir version of Light and Truth after all."--Kirkus Reviews"Town-gown tensions highlight several of the 15 stories in this stellar Akashic noir anthology set in the Elm City...This [volume] is particularly strong on established authors, many of whom have impressive credentials outside the genre."--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review"[It's] a kick to see Elm City haunts and issues weaved into short stories of intrigue by writers who know the turf."--New Haven Register"Fifteen writers, many from Connecticut, including Bloom, have contributed stories to the book. Some stories are classic film noir-style, in which an unscrupulous woman leads a desirous man to his own destruction. Some tell stories of criminal youths meeting someone they underestimated, undermining their cocky street-smarts. Other stories tell of Yalies whose sophisticated exteriors hide a seething hunger for recognition. A few stories go full-on eerie, such as the shy catalog artist who is not the person he seems to be, and the unseen man in Room 11 of the Duncan Hotel, whose daily activities are a mystery to the hotel staff. Town vs. gown tensions pop up in several stories, as do dark narratives reflecting the city's history of racial tensions."--Hartford Courant"Fifteen of New Haven's literary lights have put ink to paper (or bytes to screen?) to summon that 'noir' city of the imagination that lurks just below the rapidly gentrifying surface."--New Haven IndependentAkashic Books continues its award-winning series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each book comprises all new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location with the respective city. Amy Bloom masterfully curates a star-studded cast of contributors, including Michael Cunningham, Stephen L. Carter, and Roxana Robinson, to portray the city's underbelly.Brand-new stories by: Michael Cunningham, Roxana Robinson, Stephen L. Carter, John Crowley, Amy Bloom, Alice Mattison, Chris Knopf, Jonathan Stone, Sarah Pemberton Strong, Karen E. Olson, Jessica Speart, Chandra Prasad, David Rich, Lisa D. Gray, and Hirsh Sawhney.From the introduction by Amy Bloom:New Haven may be a noir town but, even though noir usually manages not to, we have heart. The chance to bring together some of my favorite writers, in my adopted hometown (in every place I bartended, the cook or the manager carried a .38 in his waistband, and I can still make ten kinds of boilermakers), was a joy and a privilege. Every single story is a noir gem...If you are an optimist, noir may be an antidote, a crisp, dry balance for your sunny outlook. If you are a pessimist (or, as we say, a realist), noir is your home ground, your tribe. It's not just that you expect ants to come to the picnic; you know damned well that there will be ants at the picnic. When they come, you're relieved. When they crawl up your brother's leg, you're reassured and possibly delighted. But the other side of noir is the moral center. The center may be shabby, frayed, and in serious need of a facelift, but it is a center. It's not necessarily heroic. It's likely to be cynical, and its resilience is not the showy kind. Mean streets, as Raymond Chandler once said, not but mean.That's New Haven.

And Wilson is pulled back into his old life as a &“grinder&”—working under the radar to quietly find out who is responsible for a dangerous mobster&’s missing nephews . . . &“Razor-edged prose and a sympathetic antihero lift Knowles&’s no-holds-barred crime thriller . . .

Rocks Beat Paper (The Wilson Mysteries #6)
by Mike KnowlesIn this &“highly entertaining&” heist thriller, there is no honor among jewel thieves (The Toronto Star). A phone call brought Wilson and nine other men to a job in New York. At first, he couldn&’t see a way to make the heist work, but the score—millions of dollars in diamonds—motivated him to try. Wilson came up with a plan he knew would work . . . until the inside man got killed and took the job with him. With no way inside, the crew walks away without the diamonds. Now, on his own, Wilson is free to execute the job his way. He sets a con in motion that should run as predictably as a trail of dominoes—except the con doesn&’t rely on inanimate tiles, it relies on people. And when Wilson pushes all the pieces across the board, he finds that there are other players making their own moves against him. No one is willing to walk away because the job is about more than money. The job is about diamonds. And in this game, rocks beat paper every time. &“Wilson is a captivating character: cold, merciless, magnetic, and honest about the world he willingly inhabits . . . Combining the intense grit of Richard Stark&’s Parker series with the amorality of Jim Thompson&’s work, Knowles once again delivers a heady brew of tough-guy dialogue, byzantine plots, [and] vibrant characters.&” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
