Amazon Description:
It is true that there is violent crime to be found all over
the country. But a particular brand of “Texas Noir” has taken root and
flourished within the canon of contemporary crime fiction. And the
award-winning writers included in this anthology are some of the best
illuminators of Lone Star mayhem—whether it be committed on a lonely and
far-flung cattle ranch, or in the luxurious dressing rooms of Neiman Marcus—it
has a unique flavor that is purely Texas. —from
the Foreword by Kathleen H. Kent
A Perfect Gift For Mystery Lovers!
