HTML:<p>"Dennis Lehane advises us not to judge the genre by its Hollywood images of sharp men in fedoras lighting cigarettes for femmes fatales standing in the dark alleys. . . . [Lehane] writes persuasively of the gentrification that has . . . left people feeling crushed."—<i>New York Times Book Review</i><br /> Brand-new stories by: Dennis Lehane, Stewart O'Nan, Patricia Powell, John Dufresne, Lynne Heitman, Don Lee, Russ Aborn, Itabari Njeri, Jim Fusilli, Brendan DuBois, and Dana Cameron.<br /> Dennis Lehane (<i>Mystic River</i>, <i>The Given Day</i>) has proven himself to be a master of both crime fiction and literary fiction. Here, he extends his literary prowess to that of master curator. In keeping with the Akashic Noir series tradition, each story in <i>Boston Noir</i> is set in a different neighborhood of the city—the impressively diverse collection extends from Roxbury to Cambridge, from Southie to the Boston Harbor, and all stops in between.<br /> Lehane's own contribution—the longest story in the volume—is set in his beloved home neighborhood of Dorchester and showcases his phenomenal ability to grip the heart, soul, and throat of the reader.<br /> In 2003, Lehane's novel <i>Mystic River</i> was adapted into film and quickly garnered six Academy Award nominations (with Sean Penn and Tim Robbins each winning Academy Awards). <i>Boston Noir</i> launches in November 2009 just as <i>Shutter Island</i>, the film based on Lehane's best-selling 2003 novel of the same title, hits the big screen.<br /> <b>Dennis Lehane</b> is the author of <i>The New York Times</i> bestseller <i>Mystic River</i> (also an Academy Award–winning major motion picture); <i>Prayers for Rain</i>; <i>Gone, Baby, Gone</i> (also a major motion picture); <i>Sacred</i>; <i>Darkness, Take My Hand</i>; <i>A Drink Before the War</i>, which won the Shamus Award for Best First Novel; and, most recently, <i>The Given Day</i>. A native of Dorchester, Massachusetts, he splits his time between the Boston area and Florida.</p>. Short Stories. Fiction. Mystery. Media Type: eBook.
