Honolulu Noir

Editat de Chris McKinney
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 dec 2024
Two thousand miles away from the rest of the country, an American city evades the mind's eye of the empire that claimed it, peddled it as paradise, then largely ignored it. And yet, Honolulu likes its anonymity. Tourists and outsiders corral themselves in hotels and resorts, vacation eyes glued to their beachfront sunsets and mai tais while the people who live here get on with their affairs. And sometimes it's dirty business. Honolulu Noir comprises stories about the people of the city, written by those who know this place best. The volume opens with a story featuring Chang Apana, the Native Hawaiian/Chinese real-life cop who was the inspiration for the controversial Charlie Chan. It ends with a supernatural journey from the Philippines to Hawaii. In between, readers will find multicultural tales of invasion (whether yakuza, ISIS recruiters, or vampires), madness, addiction, and murder - all the stuff that many people don't know happens here. Unbeknownst to the rest of the country, Honolulu can be a very dangerous place. Here, even the alluring crystal-blue waters might kill you. Chris McKinney says, 'When the opportunity to edit Honolulu Noir was presented to me, I jumped at the chance. I'd been aware of the outstanding reputation of Akashic's Noir Series, and as someone who was born and has lived and worked in just about every neighborhood in this city, I felt up to the task.' E komo mai to Honolulu Noir.
