The Akashic Noir series is one of the largest anthology projects in crime fiction, with over 120 volumes each devoted to a different city. Published by Akashic Books, the series began with Brooklyn Noir in 2004 and has since covered cities on every continent, from San Francisco to Lagos to Baghdad. Each volume collects original noir stories set in and inspired by its featured city.
Loren D. Estleman’s connection to the series comes primarily through Detroit Noir (2007), which he edited. Given his decades of writing crime fiction set in Detroit, he was a natural choice for the role. The Akashic Noir series as a whole has become a fixture in contemporary crime fiction, and its city-by-city format gives readers a tour of the world through the lens of dark, locally grounded stories.
