"Readers will never look at hand-thrown pottery, heirloom tomatoes, or spectacular sunsets the same way again.-- ""Kirkus Reviews"" Readers, if you like noir and you like Santa Fe, this is a must-read!-- ""Eldorado Living Magazine"" The book's diverse group of writers will provide readers with unexpected perspectives on this centuries-old city and its people.-- ""Publishers Weekly"" Because each story is identified by the neighborhood or specific location in which it takes place, Santa Fe Noir is a veritable road map of the city and surrounding area. It stretches from El Dorado to the Southside, Casa Solana and Cerrillos Road to the Santa Fe National Forest. The protagonists of the stories are psychotherapists, vagrants, teenagers, and gig workers. They drink and smoke. They drop acid and have sex. And more than a few are guilty of murder (or at least of justifiable homicide).-- ""Pasatiempo"" There is a real charm to the local specificity of Santa Fe Noir, and it's a pleasure to discover how different imaginations can channel the chiaroscuro energy of well-known places.-- ""Santa Fe Reporter"""
