Toronto Noir — Akashic Books

“Stories of murder, passion, betrayal . . . grounded very firmly and specifically in Toronto -- Dundas Square, The Beach, Dufferin Mall, Yorkville, etc.” -- BlogTO
 
A multicultural nexus, Toronto hosts Indian, Portuguese, African, Italian, and Chinese communities that provide fertile backdrops for crimes of passion and perfidy. Toronto Noir proves that Ontario's clean-cut capital hides an underworld of sin, scandal, and everyday evil.
 
This anthology features stories by RM Vaughan, Nathan Sellyn, Ibi Kaslik, Peter Robinson, Heather Birrell, Sean Dixon, Raywat Deonandad, Christine Murray, Gail Bowen, Emily Schultz, Andrew Pyper, Kim Moritsugu, Mark Sinnett, George Elliott Clarke, Pasha Malla, and Michael Redhill.
 
“With the help of some very skilled local writers, they've shown Toronto Noir is no oxymoron . . . Our authors also come up with rattling good and dark yarns from such yuppie hangouts as the Beach, Bloor West Village and the Distillery District.” -- Toronto Reads
 
“The collection by no means neglects the multi-racial, multi-ethnic character of the new Toronto . . . a most successful anthology.” -- ReviewingTheEvidence.com
