Cleveland Noir is one of best short story collections I've read in a long time (and I don't say that lightly). It's gritty, suspenseful, and sometimes heartbreaking. The editors really crafted a collection of stories from points of view that are atypical of the noir genre and its refreshing. I can't wait to dive into the reading the authors other works.  Do yourself a service and pick this up from your local indie bookstore.
