Fish Memorial Award). Praise for Queens Noir âThe ethnically diverse New York borough of Queens is the setting for this solid entry in Akashicâs noir anthology series (Brooklyn Noir, etc.) . . . . with protagonists ranging from a young woman out for revenge (Denis Hamillâs âUnder the Throgs Neck Bridgeâ) to a trigger-happy cop protecting her cousin from an abusive ex-husband (Stephen Solomitaâs âCrazy Jill Saves the Slinkyâ). The husband-and-wife team writing as Tori Carrington . . . weighs in with a gritty whodunit set in a Greek diner in âLast Stop, Ditmars.â The standout by far is âHollywood Lanesâ by Megan Abbott (The Song Is You), a bleak and masterful story of passion and betrayal set in a Forest Hills bowling alley. Thereâs plenty to enjoy here for Akashic completists and anyone whoâs ever cheered (or jeered) the Mets.â âPublishers Weekly |
