Beirut Noir

On the heels of Tel Aviv Noir and Tehran Noir, the Akashic Noir Series moves deeper into the Middle East.

“Humaydan writes in her introduction to this haunting anthology that ‘all of the stories are somehow framed by the Lebanese civil war, which lasted from approximately 1974 until 1990 . . . ‘ The crimes in this Akashic noir volume are often submerged in the greater tragedy of a beautiful city constantly torn within and without by violence.” —Publishers Weekly
