    About this audiobook

    Brand-new stories by: T. Jefferson Parker, Don Winslow, Luis Alberto Urrea, Gar Anthony Haywood, Gabriel R. Barillas, Maria Lima, Debra Ginsberg, Diane Clark & Astrid Bear, Ken Kuhlken, Lisa Brackmann, Cameron Pierce Hughes, Morgan Hunt, Jeffrey J. Mariotte, Martha C. Lawrence, and Taffy Cannon.

    From the introduction by Maryelizabeth Hart:

    “The southwesternmost metropolis in the contiguous United States, resting a mere forty feet above sea level, tends to garner positive national attention. San Diego is home to the world-famous San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park (with its history reaching back to the 1915-1916 Panama-California Exposition), temperate climes, and a sunny reputation. It is also the home of shooter Brenda Ann ‘I Don’t Like Mondays’ Spencer, disgraced Congressman Randy ‘Duke’ Cunningham, and San Diego County medical examiner–turned-killer Kristin Rossum . . .

    "The city is sometimes referred to as San Diego–Tijuana, a conurbation, with all its attendant border issues—illustrated in true noir fashion in Orson Welles’s classic Touch of Evil, adapted from Badge of Evil by Whit Masterson. A ways up the coast from the border lies the grave of Raymond Chandler, who resided in the wealthy enclave of La Jolla from 1946 to 1959; that area masquerades at “Esmerlada” in Playback, his final Philip Marlowe novel . . . I hope that reading this intriguing collection will result in you not just thinking of Shamu (the whale of SeaWorld fame), but maybe a shamus or two, when America’s Finest City comes to mind.“

    Editor's Note

    Juicy, thrilling noir…

    This collection of juicy, thrilling noir stories is set exclusively in San Diego, a follow-up to the award-winning “Brooklyn Noir.” New stories from acclaimed writers uncover some of the city’s less savory attractions, including corrupt politicians, terrorists, and more. Experience the dark underbelly underneath San Diego’s sunny facade.

      Way to many hands in the pot for this to be a good book. Writing styles is a real thing.
