Each Noir series title is an anthology of stories set in a particular city, state or region. They reflect the characteristics of the noir genre &#8211; cynicism, fatalism; the stories are dark, brooding, raw, and morally ambiguous The characters are very \u2018hard-boiled\u2019 and the surroundings often bleak and sleazy. Each title includes a map (I love the map); a Table of Contents; an Introduction written by the editor; and a section About the Contributors which tells us about the contributing authors.<br>BUENOS AIRES NOIR consists of 14 stories divided into IV Parts &#8211; How to get away with\u2026; Crimes? or Misdemeanors?; Imperfect Crimes and Revenge. (There is always revenge!)<br>Authors include In\u00e9s Garland, In\u00e9s Fernandez Moreno, Ariel Magnus, Alejandro Parisi, Pablo De Santis, Ver\u00f3nica Abdala, Alejandro Soifer, Gabriela Cabez\u00f3n C\u00e1mara, Ernesto Mallo, Enzo Maquiera, Elsa Osorio, Leandro Avalos Blacha, Claudia Pi\u00f1eiro, and Maria In\u00e9s Krimer.<br>I liked the following lines in Ernesto Mallo\u2019s introduction: \u201cThese shaky and troubled beginnings have left their marks on the character and temperament of Buenos Aires. Its inhabitants display the mischief found on the edges of the law, the rush of a passing reflection, and a surprising capacity to adapt to new situations.\u201d&nbsp; \u201cThe distinctive music of the city is the tango, the sensual dance par excellence.\u201d \u201cIt is sex turned into song.\u201d<br>I was very disgusted by the story \u201cThe dead wife\u201d.
