Mystery writing titan Lawrence Block takes a bite into Manhattan crime.

---

"e;A pleasing variety of Manhattan neighborhoods come to life in Block's solid anthology. . . . The writing is of a high order and a nice mix of styles."e; -Publishers Weekly New York City's main borough becomes the centerpiece for a collection of noir tales that celebrates its appeal, its arrogance, its diversity and its darkness. From Battery Park to Harlem, the Lower East Side to the Upper West, Manhattan Noir delves below the island's glittering facade to bring out its meanest streets. This anthology features the Big Apple's best with stories by Jeffery Deaver, Lawrence Block, Charles Ardai, Carol Lea Benjamin, Thomas H. Cook, Jim Fusilli, Robert Knightly, John Lutz, Liz Martinez, Maan Meyers, Martin Meyers, S.J. Rozan, Justin Scott, C.J. Sullivan, and Xu Xi. "e;Block's selections, generally speaking, span the social spectrum. But all involve moral compromise, existential hells, or revenge (even if a couple of sort-of-happy endings may offend noir purists). Quality is high throughout . . . Any irony in the evolution a book created to celebrate Brooklyn becomes a series in which one of the best installments honors Manhattan is New Yorkers' to enjoy."e; Booklist

Autor

Lawrence Block has won most of the major mystery awards, and has been called the quintessential New York writer, although he insists the city's far too big to have a quintessential writer. His series characters-Matthew Scudder, Bernie Rhodenbarr, Evan Tanner, Chip Harrison, and Keller-all live in Manhattan; like their creator, they would not really be happy anywhere else.
