Wishnia, Victoria Eng, Alan Gordon, Belinda Farley, Joseph Guglielmelli, Patricia King, Kim Sykes, Jillian Abbott, Stephen Solomita, and Glenville Lovell.

From the introduction by Robert Knightly:

"Queens is New York City's biggest borough, with the most parks and cemeteries, both major airports, Shea Stadium, the city's only racetrack, and 150 languages spoken by more foreign-born residents than live anywhere else in the U.S. No wonder Queens has attitude. And plenty of noir to go around. That's the premise of Queens Noir. I chose these nineteen authors for their solid connections to the borough, not to mention their skewed worldviews."

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

ROBERT KNIGHTLY relocated from Manhattan to Jackson Heights, Queens in 1994 (marriage and a bigger apartment). He spent his first forty-four years in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, just a hop, skip, and a jump over the Pulaski Bridge spanning Newtown Creek between Greenpoint and Long Island City, Queens. He worked as a criminal trial lawyer for the Legal Aid Society in the Queens Criminal Court. Once upon a time, he was a New York City policeman, but that was in big, bad Brooklyn. He now lives in Albany, NY, and is the editor of Queens Noir.
