Paris Noir (Akashic Noir)

Paris Noir takes you on a ride through the old medieval center of town with its winding streets, its ghosts, and its secrets buried in history. This is more than an homage to the crime genre, to Melville and Godard, it's also a lush introduction to the very best in French fiction.

Brand-new stories from: Marc Villard, Didier Daeninckx, Jean-Bernard Pouy, Salim Bachi, Christophe Mercier, Jrme Leroy, DOA, Laurent Martin, Herv Prudon, Patrick Pcherot, Dominique Mainard, and Chantal Pelletier.

Aurlien Masson is the director of la Srie Noire at Gallimard, one of France's leading publishing companies.
