Boston Noir & Boston Noir 2: The Complete Set combines all twenty-five stories from best seller Boston Noir.
‘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.’ –New York Times, on Boston Noir
‘The contributor list is delightfully quirky…The collection’s unifying element is a deep understanding of Boston’s Byzantine worlds of race and class–as seen terrifyingly in Andre Dubus’s tale of Milltown resentment and pampered preppies.’ –Boston Globe, on Boston Noir 2: The Classics
Boston Noir & Boston Noir 2: The Complete Set combines all twenty-five stories from best seller Boston Noir, edited by Dennis Lehane, and its sequel, Boston Noir 2: The Classics, edited by Lehane, Mary Cotton & Jaime Clarke; featuring Lehane’s own ‘Animal Rescue, ‘ the basis for the motion picture The Drop, and twenty-four classic noir stories set throughout Boston.
