San Francisco Noir by Peter Maravelis San Francisco Noir lashes out with hard-biting tales exploring the shadowy nether regions of scenic “Baghdad by the Bay.” “An entertaining anthology of overheated short stories by local writers . . . Here the city becomes the central character, the strongest on the page.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Reflecting changing conditions, multicultural authors are well represented here, and female writers definitely make their mark . . . There’s enough here to cause us to want more.” —Library Journal
