“Akashic is making an argument about the universality of noir; it’s sort of flattering, really, and
Los Angeles Noir,
arriving at last, is a kaleidoscopic collection filled with the ethos of noir pioneers Raymond Chandler and James M. Cain.”

“Istanbul straddles the divide of Europe and Asia, and its polyglot population of twelve million seethes with political, religious, and sexual tensions, as shown in the sixteen stories in this strong entry in Akashic’s noir anthology series … A welcome complement to the mostly historical mysteries set in Istanbul.”
—Publishers Weekly
