Australia’s largest city “provides fertile ground for dark doings, as these 14 tales demonstrate … [a] cavalcade of crime Down Under” (Kirkus Reviews).
Includes Kirsten Tranter’s Edgar Award-nominated “The Passenger”
Akashic Books continues its award-winning series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each book comprises all new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective city. Now, “Sydney Noir brings together 14 compelling short stories by established and emerging Australian authors, each offering a startling glimpse into the dark heart of Sydney and its sprawling suburbs” (Sydney Morning Herald, Australian edition review).
This anthology includes brand-new stories by Kirsten Tranter, Mandy Sayer, John Dale, Eleanor Limprecht, Mark Dapin, Leigh Redhead, Julie Koh, Peter Polites, Robert Drewe, Tom Gilling, Gabrielle Lord, Philip McLaren, P. M. Newton, and Peter Doyle.

“Akashic delivers another impeccable anthology with Sydney Noir, a deep dive into the mean streets, artistic outlets, and sultry demimonde of Australia’s largest (and liveliest) city. ”—CrimeReads
“The 14 uniformly strong selections feature familiar subgenre figures: gangsters, ethically compromised cops, and people bent on revenge for the loss of a loved one … Fans of dark crime fiction will want to seek out other works by these contributors, most of whom will be unfamiliar to American readers. ”—Publishers Weekly
“Here is a tough but tender vision of multicultural working-class Australia, with all its wards and anxieties. ”—Australian Book Review
