Description

These noir stories take readers on a hard-boiled tour behind the Orange curtain where a reclusive rock star has lived way too long in his own head, a crooked judge uses the court for illicit means, a cab driver prowls the streets with more than the ticking meter on his mind, where cultures clash, housewives want more than the perfect grout cleaner and nobody is who they seem to be. Includes contributions from Edgar Award winner Susan Straight, Hammett Award nominee Robert Ward, LA Times bestseller Barbara DeMarco-Barrett and Nero Wolfe Award winner Dick Lochte.

Author Biography

Gary Phillips is the author of several crime-fiction novels, including Bangers and The Perpetrators. He writes in several other mediums -- from screenplays to comic books -- and remembers vividly the days of disco and the fever that coke, then crack, unleashed.
