Noirotica 3: Stolen Kisses

From the darkened city streets where crime crosses desire comes the third volume in Thomas Roche's acclaimed Noirotica anthology series. Prowling the red-light corners at the intersection of the mystery and erotica genres, Noirotica stories are the naughty bits Spillane and Thompson left out, the streetlight vision of modern crime-noir with all its raw eroticism unsullied and the soft-focus replaced by glaring realism. This is the city where fallen angels in red silk prowl with shivs in their garter belts and .38s gripped in black-lace gloves, where private eyes park their Packards on the wrong side of the tracks.
