Infos

Amsterdam is a very welcome, if long overdue, installment in the Akashic Noir Series.

---

This anthology of new noir fiction set in the Dutch capital "e;features superior writing from authors largely unknown to an American audience"e; (Publishers Weekly). From its numerous coffee shops where drugs are openly available, to its world-famous Red Light District where prostitutes display themselves in shop windows, Amsterdam is a city where almost anything goes in broad daylight. And yet, this serene city of canals has its dark side as well. In fifteen tales of greed, jealousy and revenge, some of the finest Dutch crime writers including literary award-winners and international bestsellers explore the seamy shadows of this historic city. Amsterdam Noir features brand-new stories by: Michael Berg, Anneloes Timmerije, Murat Isik, Rene Appel & Josh Pachter, Simon de Waal, Hanna Bervoets, Karin Amatmoekrim, Christine Otten, Mensje van Keulen, Max van Olden, Theo Capel, Loes den Hollander, Herman Koch, Abdelkader Benali, and Walter van den Berg, whose story "e;Get Rich Quick"e; won the inaugural Literatuurprijs Nieuw-West award.
