London Noir
by Maxim Jakubowski (Editor)

Description
The city is at the centre of all good crime writing: Los Angeles has Raymond Chandler, Chicago has Sara Paretsky and Mexico City has Paco Taibo. London has the contributors to London Noir who explore the dark underbelly of London and celebrate the triple by-passed heart of England's capital city. They reveal London to be a city of mayhem and depravity not to be recommended to tourists from Miami!Tags

For those that like deviant sex, grotesque violence and a glimpse into London's seedy underground culture of drugs and prostitution. Requires a strong stomach but is necessary reading for all who like their ficton with guts (sometimes spilling out on the pavement) and who seek to understand how to write this kind of thing themselves. Also required reading for anyone who gets their notion of London from Dickens.
