| Synopsis: |
Kerry J. Schooley and Peter Sellers continue their critically acclaimed exploration into the humour and terror of noir fiction with this collection of twelve short stories based upon that oldest of human desires: getting even. For their third anthology of crime stories the editors have uncovered tales from a mix of recognised masters and exciting new authors: Hugh Garner ("Hunky"), Jean Rae Baxter ("A Wanton Disregard"), James Powell ("A Murder Coming"), William Bankier ("Dead Like Dogs"), Jas, R. Petrin ("Man on the Roof"), Fab Napoleone ("As The Streetlights Flickered On"), Vern Smith ("The Green Ghetto"), Barbara Fradkin ("Great Minds"), Leslie Watts ("Crocodile Tears"), Nancy Kilpatrick ("Generation Y") and more. These are characters whose time is coming, sure as winter. And like them, readers will savour their cold-blooded Revenge like fine cognac, hand-warmed on a crisp northern night. |
