Description
Orange County Noir brings to light the darker side of California's Orange County, a place often associated with sun-kissed beaches and suburban tranquility. This collection of original stories explores the grittier aspects of life in this region, revealing secrets and hidden truths. Set against the backdrop of distinct neighborhoods and locations, these 14 new tales offer a unique perspective on the city. From the introduction by Gary Phillips, we get a glimpse into the world of Orange County, where McMansions stand alongside pho shops, Pilates classes are run like boot camp, and ice-cream parlors coexist with taquerías. With contributions from a diverse range of writers, this anthology takes you on a hard-boiled tour behind the Orange Curtain, revealing the complexities and nuances of life in this often-overlooked corner of California.
