Description

The next instalment of Akashic's Noir series is a rich volume of Southern urban noir exploring sides of Memphis that only the locals know, but often don't reveal. From the introduction: A city equal parts darkness and hope. A scarred city. An often violent one. But a resilient city too. That's our Memphis."

Author Bio
