- Summary:
- "Even a city that boasts three hundred days of sunshine a year has its sudden, often violent storms-- and writers have long taken advantage of that metaphor. Renowned authors Katherine Anne Porter, Jack Kerouac, Stephen King, Rex Burns, Robert Greer, Michael Connelly, and Kali Fajardo-Anstine-- among many others-- have brilliantly portrayed this picturesque but often merciless city. Today, Denver is home to a thriving literary scene, with writers of all stripes finding inspiration in tis people and streets. The authors and stories featured in Denver Noir are no exception--"--back cover.
