Enjoy twenty-one helpings of New York attitude in Fresh Slices, by local members of the New York / Tri-State chapter of Sisters in Crime. Second in the Murder New York series, the anthology features tales from the most ethnically diverse and densely populated city in America. By turns funny, tough, and somber, the authors reveal slices of life beyond the tourist''s view, in rich and poor neighborhoods where old-timers desperately protect their secrets and brand-new arrivals indulge dangerous appetites. There is as much variety in the tones, settings, and approaches as in the city itself. And yet, each of these crime stories also reflects Gotham''s most infectious and unifying principle, that special combination of adaptability and assertiveness dished out more often than any pizza or street meat. In this, Fresh Slices’ second edition, urban short stories offer action-packed murder and suspense-filled mystery that range in tone from fun to dark and in genre from cozy to noir. The amateur sleuths, police officers, private investigators, and female protagonists who grapple with crime in these pages are richly drawn and engagingly authentic.
