The Akashic Noir series is one of the most ambitious crime fiction publishing projects ever undertaken. With over 121 city-specific volumes published between 2002 and 2025, the series covers crime fiction from every inhabited continent — from the franchise’s early American entries (Brooklyn Noir, Chicago Noir, Miami Noir) to international volumes (Istanbul Noir, Lagos Noir, Baghdad Noir, Nairobi Noir).
Each volume gathers original short fiction from authors with connections to the featured city, creating a global map of crime writing that reflects the unique character of each location. The series has expanded to include sequel volumes (Brooklyn Noir 2, San Francisco Noir 2) and “Classics” editions (Chicago Noir: The Classics). It represents an unmatched effort to document crime fiction as a worldwide literary form.
