This award-winning anthology of original crime fiction exploring Brooklyn's many enclaves features new stories by Pete Hamill, Maggie Estep and others.

New York's punchiest borough asserts its criminal legacy with this collection of stories from some of today's best writers. Brooklyn Noir moves from Coney Island to Bedford-Stuyvesant to Bay Ridge to Red Hook to Bushwick to Sheepshead Bay to Park Slope and far deeper, into the heart of Brooklyn's historical and criminal largesse. Each contributor offers a new story set in a distinct neighborhood.

Many of the stories that first appeared in this volume have garnered critical acclaim, including Pete Hamill's Edgar Award finalist "The Book Signing"; Ellen Miller's Pushcart Prize finalist "Practicing"; Pearl Abraham's Shamus Award finalist "Hasidic Noir"; Arthur Nersesian's Anthony Award finalist "Hunter/Trapper"; and Thomas Morrissey's Robert L. Fish Memorial Award-winner "Can't Catch Me".
