- James Ellroy and Otto Penzler mined the past century to find this treasure trove of thirty-nine stories. From noir's twenties-era infancy come gems like James M. Cain's "Pastorale," and its postwar heyday boasts giants like Mickey Spillane and Evan Hunter. Packing an undeniable punch, diverse contemporary incarnations include Elmore Leonard, Patricia Highsmith, Joyce Carol Oates, Dennis Lehane, and William Gay, with many page-turners appearing from the past decade.
- JAMES ELLROY's L.A. Quartet novels - The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A. Confidential, and White Jazz - were international bestsellers. His most recent book is The Hilliker Curse. OTTO PENZLER is the founder of the Mysterious Bookshop and Mysterious Press.
