Amsterdam Noir
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
From its numerous coffee shops where drugs are openly available, to its world-famous Red Light District where prostitutes display themselves in shop windows, Amsterdam is a city where almost anything goes in broad daylight. And yet, this serene city of canals has its dark side as well. In fifteen tales of greed, jealousy and revenge, some of the finest Dutch crime writers—including literary award-winners and international bestsellers—explore the seamy shadows of this historic city.
Amsterdam Noir features brand-new stories by: Michael Berg, Anneloes Timmerije, Murat Isik, René Appel & Josh Pachter, Simon de Waal, Hanna Bervoets, Karin Amatmoekrim, Christine Otten, Mensje van Keulen, Max van Olden, Theo Capel, Loes den Hollander, Herman Koch, Abdelkader Benali, and Walter van den Berg, whose story "Get Rich Quick" won the inaugural Literatuurprijs Nieuw-West award.

"Fourteen of The Netherlands' premier authors of crime and literary fiction contributed to this collection, with the editors--top-rated crime authors themselves--providing the 15th. Amsterdam Noir is the latest in Akashic Books' long-running series of place-based crime anthologies. If this enterprise is in part intended to give a flavour of the locale under the authorial microscope, this collection is another success."

Appel and Pachter take an unexpected turn as they explore Amsterdam's dark side.In spotlighting a city known worldwide for sex workers and marijuana, the editors avoid the obvious. Instead, they divide their volume into four sections named for four films noirs. "Out of the Past" features crimes with deep roots, like Anneloes Timmerije's "Spui 13." Based on a true story, it follows a woman who returns to Amsterdam to buy the house she lived in when she was younger, with disastrous results. "Kiss Me Deadly" presents three tales of love gone wrong, including Christine Otten's "Soul Mates," another true-crime story. "Touch of Evil" offers a look at villains ranging from the pedestrian to the extreme. A policeman appropriates his neighbor's lottery ticket in Theo Capel's "Lucky Sevens"; a young man makes a deal with the Prince of Darkness himself in Mensje van Keulen's "Devil's Island." And the focus of "They Live by Night" on Amsterdam's marginalized communities is perhaps represented by Walter van den Berg's "Get Rich Quick," in which two aspiring young gangsters borrow a gun to rob a Muslim hawala bank.Taking the road less traveled is a winning strategy for the editors. The 15 dark takes they've collected provide a variety of methods, motives, and menace, while their movie-themed chapters anchor the varied menu firmly in the noir tradition.COPYRIGHT(2018) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
