Though the lives of Mexico's characters are effected by the corrupt and dangerous subculture of their country, these are much more than simple "crime stories". They are complicated and deeply moving tales that tap into universal and enduringly powerful themes: love and loss, religion, family relationships, government abuse, sexual identity, professional ambition, cancer; they introduce us to characters that feel fully realized in their humanity.

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.

There is something of both the absolutely spectacular and positively disgraceful about Tehran. But most writers around the world are inclined to think that their own sprawling metropolis is the capital of every imaginable vice and crime, of impossible love and tenderness and cruelty and malice in measures that seldom exist anywhere else.

But it still exists under the watchful eye of a very unique entity, the Islamic Republic.

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.

So herrlich britisch wie ein Yorkshire Pudding, so stimmungsvoll und gruselig wie ›Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte‹ von Charles Dickens und so spannend, dass man dieses Buch kaum aus den Händen legen kann.

Nimmt das Wildbret des Waidmanns seiner Frau die Luft zum Atmen? Kann Aberglaube Leben retten? Und warum starb der Büchernarr? Schon die kleinsten Unaufmerksamkeiten können tödliche Folgen haben. Bei Sekundenschlaf oder einem Postflug über den Dschungel in einer stürmischen Nacht ist das ja noch verständlich, bei einem Hexenturm oder einem Blind Date aber weniger. Und doch schleicht sich der Tod auf leisen Sohlen an. Wir schenken euch eine überraschende Wendung am Morgen, einen Schrecken gegen Mittag, eine Gänsehaut am Abend und spannende Träume für die Nacht.
