About the Author

Tim McLoughlin's respect on any Brooklyn street predates the publication of his debut novel Heart of the Old Country (available from Turnaround), a selection of the Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers programme that was hailed by Entertainment Weekly as "an inspired cross between Richard Price and Ross McDonald." For years he has worked in the Supreme Court in downtown Brooklyn.

Reviews

Brooklyn Noir is such a stunningly perfect combination that you can't believe you haven't read an anthology like this before. But trust me--you haven't. Story after story is a revelation, filled with the requisite sense of place, but also the perfect twists that crime stories demand. The writing is flat-out superb, filled with lines that will sing in your head for a long time to come.--Laura Lippman, winner of the Edgar, Shamus and Agatha awards

A recent publication from Akashic Books is the laudable Brooklyn Noir, a collection of dark tales set in New York's self-proclaimed punchiest borough . . . the story by Peter Hamill is more than worth the price of the whole book.-- "New York Sun"

This Brooklyn is cagey and unpredictable. This is about the shadowy corners, the musty old bars and the sidewalks littered with broken glass. In Brooklyn Noir, you can't take anything for granted.-- "Brooklyn Paper"
