Mystery sensation Pelecanos pens the lead story and edits this groundbreaking collection of stories detailing the seedy underside of the nation's capital. This is not an anthology of ill-conceived and inauthentic political thrillers. Instead, in D.C. Noir, pimps, whores, gangsters, and con-men run rampant in zones of this city that most never hear about.

A city equal parts darkness and hope. A scarred city. An often violent one. But a resilient city, too. That's our Memphis. Like many cities we have a namesake - in Egypt, Men-nefer became Menfe became Memphis, enduring and beautiful, on the banks of the Nile. Centuries later, another continent, another people, another river: Memphis, Tennessee, the soul of the Mississippi Delta, was formed.

With the renewal of the Cold War, the Security Services in the West were jittery: A terrorist could now, as never before, destroy a fantastic amount of material, production potential, and infrastructure. Civilization had grown so unbelievably complex that it was hopelessly vulnerable to an internal enemy. And an atom bomb could be carried in a suitcase. Now that nightmare had become a reality. An enemy agent had planted a hidden atom bomb, timed to explode within a short time.

A stand-alone novella in the Dale Kinsall mystery series (Nose for Trouble; Scent of Danger): Who really has the nose for trouble…Flagstaff veterinarian Dale Kinsall or his young Beagle Sully? A trip to New Mexico for a tracking dog test leaves Dale with as many questions as answers…especially when Sully, true to form, tracks his way to more than the final glove.

Chi si nasconde dietro la società segreta che controlla i destini del mondo?

From the introduction to Philadelphia Noir: "America's first great city, first capital, and first industrial metropolis contained from the beginning the mix of poor workers and elite culture, of ethnic enclaves and religious intolerance, of easy skullduggery and flesh-pot possibilities, that led Lincoln Steffens in 1903 to famously rule it 'corrupt and contented'."

When you think of St. Petersburg noir, some of the greatest literary names immediately spring to mind - Alexander Pushkin, Nikolay Gogol, and Fyodor Dostoevsky. Modern day St. Petersburg lavishly offers the scenery and conditions for true noir stories, and the writers in St. Petersburg Noir succeed in concocting their own worlds within this city with stories ranging from mystical to outwardly grotesque.

Il potere è nelle loro mani. Un grande thriller. Firenze. Si è scatenato il panico nella prestigiosa casa d'aste Paolini: è appena esplosa una bomba e il salone ha preso fuoco. Un gruppo di paramilitari, approfittando della confusione, si introduce nei sotterranei del palazzo e si impossessa del misterioso lotto 302, custodito in un grosso baule di alluminio. Contemporaneamente, Andreas Henkel, agente del Servizio Segreto Vaticano, si trova a far fronte a un evento scioccante e imprevisto.

Manila provides the ideal, torrid setting for an Akashic Noir series volume. It's where the rich rub shoulders with the poor, where five-star hotels coexist with informal settlements, where religious zeal coexists with superstition, and where politics is often synonymous with celebrity and corruption.

È notte fonda quando un bagliore accecante illumina la notte di Torino: la cappella del Guarini è in fiamme. Basta poco perché la tragica notizia si diffonda in tutto il mondo: la Sacra Sindone è andata distrutta. Quattro mesi dopo, in una Roma assolata e caotica, uno scandalo travolge il Vaticano: il colonnello Weistaler, comandante della Guardia svizzera, viene brutalmente assassinato il giorno del giuramento delle nuove reclute.

The most civilized and 'decent' among us find that we are complicit with the most brutal murderers. We enter into literally unspeakable alliances - of which we dare not speak except through the obliquities and indirections of fiction, poetry, and visual art of the sort gathered here in New Jersey Noir.

Speed: the most demonized - and misunderstood - drug in the land. Deprived of the ingrained romantic mysticism of the opiate or the cosmopolitan chic of cocaine or the mundane tolerance of marijuana, there is no sympathy for this devil. Yet speed - crystal meth, amphetamines, Dexedrine, Benzedrine, Adderall; crank, spizz, chickenscratch, oblivious marching powder, the go-fast - is the most American of drugs: twice the productivity at half the cost, and equal opportunity for all.

The story I wrote, set in the same Hell's Kitchen neighborhood that's home to my detective hero, Matthew Scudder, was "If You Can't Stand the Heat". (And in fact the bar where the story begins bears a definite resemblance to Grogan's Open House, where Matt's friend Mick Ballou holds court.) I didn't know very much about the young woman who stars in "If You Can't Stand the Heat", not even her name. I learned more as I found myself moved to record further adventures for her.

From the introduction by David L. Ulin: "For me, Cape Cod is a repository of memory: forty summers in the same house will do that to you. But it is also a landscape of hidden tensions, which rise up when we least anticipate. In part, this has to do with social aspiration, which is one of the things that brought my family, like many others, to the Cape. In part, it has to do with social division, which has been a factor since at least the end of the nineteenth century, when then summer trade began."

Il commissario Adalgisa Calligaris è reticente a festeggiare in grande le "nozze di stagno". È una donna dura, un po' brusca, e preferisce di gran lunga la semplicità agli sfarzi. Ma l'insistenza di suo marito, il magistrato Gualtiero Fontanella, la convince ad accettare l'idea di partire per una crociera in Giappone. Durante il volo da Roma a Tokyo, Adalgisa conosce Bianca, una karateka di quattordici anni che fa parte di una squadra di otto giovani atleti in viaggio premio, che la coppia incontrerà di nuovo, per una coincidenza, sulla nave da crociera.

実は無類の怪談好きだった著者が、自ら体験あるいは学生時代から蒐集し続けている怪異譚の中から、とっておきの49篇を収録――深夜に帰宅したのは誰だったのか？（「夫の帰宅」）。

Berlin does not make it easy to write noir fiction - or perhaps Berlin makes it too easy. Noir tradition casts a long, influential, and even daunting shadow. Neither Döblin nor Benn, Brecht nor Lang, catered to any crime fiction traditions. They merely steeped their literary projects in a great deal of noir. And so it is with most of the stories in our anthology: they do not necessarily follow the usual patterns of crime fiction, but regard noir as a license to write as they wish, a certain way of approaching the city, and a prism through which its nature is viewed....
