Synopsis "Paris Noir: The Suburbs (in English)"
"A treasure chest of resources for any noir author seeking a more gruesome approach or a more relentless destruction of the soul. One might hope the real Paris suburbs are not so dark and blood drenched. But by the end of the collection, that hope seems almost foolish, and the body found on the quay seems to be the lucky guy in the story." --New York Journal of BooksAkashic Books continues its award-winning series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir.
