Jefferson Parker, Don Winslow, Maria Lima, and others.</strong></p><p>San Diego is home to miles of beaches, Balboa Park, a world-famous zoo, and some of the countrys most expensive home and resort real estate. Yet the city also houses a few items that arent actively promoted by the visitors bureau: a number of the countrys most corrupt politicians, border-related crimes, terrorists, and the occasional earthquakes. A noir feast!</p><p>In the fifty-plus years since Raymond Chandler set <em>Playback</em> in Esmeralda, his name for La Jolla, the population has grown by more than a million, and crime has proliferated as well. San Diego of the past and the present offers the books contributors a rich selection of settings, from the cross on Mount Soledad to the piers of Ocean Beach, and perpetrators and victims from the residents of its wealthiest enclaves to the inhabitants of its segregated barrios.</p><p><em>San Diego Noir</em> includes stories by T. Jefferson Parker, Jeffrey J. Mariotte, Martha C. Lawrence, Diane Clark & Astrid Bear, Debra Ginsberg, Morgan Hunt, Ken Kuhlken, Taffy Cannon, Don Winslow, Cameron Pierce Hughes, Lisa Brackmann, Gabriel R. Barillas, Gar Anthony Haywood, Luis Alberto Urrea, and Maria Lima.</p><p>When its done right, noir is a darkly delicious thrill: smart, sharp-tongued, surprising.
