Description

"Thoroughly entertaining... from desperate writing students in Missoula to a van of itinerant strippers working the Hi-Line paralleling the Canadian border." -- Publishers Weekly



A Parade Magazine "Books We Love" Pick




The Big Sky State may seem to lack the shadowy urban mazes traditional to the noir genre. But in Montana, darkness is found in the regions of the heart, driving the desperate and deadly to commit the most heinous of crimes. Here, James Grady and Keir Graff, both Montana natives, masterfully curate this collection of hard-edged Western tales.




Montana Noir includes Eric Heidle's "Ace in the Hole," an Edgar Award nominee for Best Short Story, and impressive contributions by David Abrams, Caroline Patterson, Thomas McGuane, Janet Skeslien Charles, Sidner Larson, Yvonne Seng, James Grady, Jamie Ford, Carrie La Seur, Walter Kirn, Gwen Florio, Debra Magpie Earling, and Keir Graff.





"Terrific... Montana Noir is one of the high points in Akashic's long-running and justly celebrated Noir series... varying landscapes reflect the darkness within the people who walk the streets or drive the country roads." -- Booklist




"Montana may not have the back alleys so common to noir but it has western justice which can be quick, brutal and final and that is as satisfying as anything found in the urban streets that typically attract the dark beauty of the noir genre." -- New York Journal of Books




"Certain noir standbys prove both malleable and fertile in these 14 new stories... If Montana has a dark side, is anywhere safe from noir?" -- Kirkus Reviews
