Sao Paulo Noir

This anthology of noir fiction set in Sao Paulo, Brazil, "e;might be the strongest entry yet in the long-running and globe-spanning Akashic Noir series"e; (San Francisco Book Review). Once known as the Land of Mist, Sao Paulo is now a dense, diverse, and globalized metropolis. It is the most populous city in the Americas, the Portuguese-speaking world, and the southern hemisphere with some of the worst traffic on the planet. From its gleaming skyscrapers to its historic downtown and its rough, drug-infested outskirts, this unique anthology explores a truly unique city with "e;a timely feel, giving noir a host of feminine faces"e; (Kirkus). Sao Paulo Noir includes fourteen brand-new stories by Tony Bellotto, Olivia Maia, Marcelino Freire, Beatriz Bracher & Maria S. Carvalhosa, Fernando Bonassi, Marcelo Rubens Paiva, Marcal Aquino, Jo Soares, Mario Prata, Ferrez, Vanessa Barbara, Ilana Casoy, and Drauzio Varella.
