Product Description
by Sisters In Crime North Dallas (Author)
It is true that there is violent crime to be found all over the country. But a particular brand of "Texas Noir" has taken root and flourished within the canon of contemporary crime fiction. And the award-winning writers included in this anthology are some of the best illuminators of Lone Star mayhem-whether it be committed on a lonely and far-flung cattle ranch, or in the luxurious dressing rooms of Neiman Marcus-it has a unique flavor that is purely Texas. -from the Foreword by Kathleen H. Kent
