Publisher's Synopsis
Akashic Books continues its ground-breaking series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each story is set in a distinct neighbourhood or location within the city of the book. In the wake of San Francisco Noir, Los Angeles Noir, and Orange County Noir-all popular volumes in the Akashic Noir series-comes the latest California instalment, Oakland Noir. Masterfully curated by Jerry Thompson and Eddie Muller (the 'Czar of Noir'), this volume will shock, titillate, provoke, and entertain. The diverse cast of talented contributors will not disappoint.
