Praise for Columbus Noir "Moments of humanity shine through in many of the tales in this collection, and epic takes on pride and greed make many of the stories in this collection go beyond small miseries into the realm of Shakespearian tragedy. Urgent, beautiful, and not to be missed." —CrimeReads, included in CrimeReads' Most Anticipated Crime Books of 2020 "This superior Akashic noir anthology gathers 14 dark snapshots of Ohio's capital, a very dangerous place indeed, with heavy drug use and murder touching down everywhere, from the German Village neighborhood to the statehouse. One highlight is Craig McDonald's "Curb Appeal," one of several invoking the homicidal search for housing. In the editor's effective "Going Places," a security man who covers up affairs for the governor gets pulled into a murder plot . . . . Noir fans should be well satisfied." —Publishers Weekly
