What is Kingston Noir (Akashic Noir) about?

"Thoroughly well-written stories...fans of noir will enjoy this batch of sordid tales set in the sweltering heat of the tropics." --Publishers Weekly " Kingston Noir subverts the simplistic sunshine/reggae/spliff-smoking image of Jamaica at almost every turn...The collection amply rewards the reader with a rich interplay of geographies and themes." --The Los Angeles Times " Kingston Noir goes darker and deeper than any before...the purest of noir, and the richest depictions of Jamaica." --The Huffington Post Kingston Noir is an eclectic and gritty melange of tales that sears the imagination . . . Kingston Noir proves its worth as a quintessential piece of West Indian literaturerich, artistic, timeless, and above all, draped in unmistakable realism. --The Gleaner (Jamaica) "Some of these stories are mysterious, some are straightforward, but all are dark. There isnt a single light-hearted story in the bunch, which falls in line perfectly with the noir theme. Readers beware, there are some stories in this book that address the darkest parts of human nature: rape, torture, murder. Its not for the faint of heart. However, they are all well-written and tap into the true underbelly
