Opis

James Ellroy and Otto Penzler mined 100 years of writing, 1910-2010, to find this treasure trove of 39 stories. From noir's twenties-era infancy come gems like James M. Cain's 'Pastorale', and its post-war heyday boasts giants like Mickey Spillane and Evan Hunter.

His novel Blood's A Rover completes the magisterial 'Underworld USA Trilogy' - the first two volumes of which (American Tabloid and The Cold Six Thousand) were both Sunday Times bestsellers. His last novel Widespread Panic received wide praise, with The Times calling it 'extraordinary'.
