Borderland Noir (2015) is a crime fiction anthology that brings together stories set along the U.S.-Mexico border. The collection draws on the region’s long history of smuggling, corruption, and survival to tell noir stories rooted in a place where two countries overlap in complicated ways.
Manuel Ramos, who has spent his career writing about Latino communities and crime, is a natural fit for this kind of project. The anthology sits alongside his Akashic Noir contributions and his own novels as another example of his interest in crime fiction that’s tied to specific places and cultures.
