“The population of Chicago Noir is as diverse as any crowd at the lakefront fireworks show . . . As representative of Chicago as Oprah, MJ and a Gold Coast hot dog.” —Chicago Sun-Times
“Chicago Noir asks us to consider whether Chicago is, specifically, a noir city and, more significantly, how noir plays out in the current landscape . . . Its stories push us to think about how noir might still be relevant beyond a bad-ass sort of nostalgia.” —American Book Review
Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each story is set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the city of the book.
