Pinup Noir (Raconteur Press Anthologies)

By Steve Diamond, Cedar Sanderson, Jack Wylder

Everybody loves the femme fatale; the tough-as-nails dame with the smoky voice and the legs that go on forever - almost as much as they love the cynical gumshoe with the strict moral code and the tiniest soft spot in his heart. Hard-boiled detective fiction - America's gift to literature - was introduced to the world in the middle of the Roaring Twenties, allegedly reached its height in the 1950s; and if you listen to the pundits, died out with the pulp magazines. Hogwash. Hardboiled detective fiction lives on in its offspring: the roman noir, film noir, neo- noir, Mediterranean noir, and last - but certainly not least - cyberpunk. Join these 8 authors as they explore the world of the hard-boiled detective and the dames they love.
