Noir stories that feature older protangonists. My favorite stories were by Stuart MacBride, Megan Abbot, and Bill Crider. A really good collection overall, only a few that I did not care for.

about ever story in this collection was sharp and funny. the oldsters are tough and seasoned and mostly likeable. if you are squeamish about the geezer porn industry you might want to skip a couple, though they don't quite tread into the salacious details. the stories are arranged by the age of the author from young whippersnapper to veteran crime-monger.

Boy this was fun.
Short little stories of "Geezer Noir". I don't suppose it is politically correct to make fun of the elderly, but when the descriptions start reflecting the life of a character you know...you just gotta laugh.
One of the best things about anthologies is the introduction of authors that you have not heard of before. As if I need to add any more to my "TO READ" list. On several occasions, having completed a story, I rushed to the computer to look up an author's work. Oft times I would have one of their books already marked as "to read", based on a recommendation from A Goodreads member.
Here's the thing, though; the authors' short stories in this collection are often a departure from their usual body of work. Sooo, if you see your favorite author as a contributor here, try this book, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
