Description

Irish crime-fiction sensation Ken Bruen and cohorts shine a light on the dark streets of Dublin.

“The stories paint a picture of Dublin as the Celtic Tiger, a beast crouched on its hind legs about to leap at you and roaring with its intensity . . . The cynicism and despair of classic noir is portrayed within each of these stories.” —Metro LA

“Dublin Noir is perhaps the best short story anthology I’ve read.” —Reviewing the Evidence

Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each story is set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the city of the book.

Brand-new stories by: Ken Bruen, Eoin Colfer, Jason Starr, Laura Lippman, Olen Steinhauer, Peter Spiegelman, Kevin Wignall, Jim Fusilli, John Rickards, Patrick J. Lambe, Charlie Stella, Ray Banks, James O. Born, Sarah Weinman, Pat Mullan, Reed Farrel Coleman, and others.
