About the event
Paradise has a dark side! Join Books & Books @ The Studios for the release of Key West Noir, a thrilling new anthology of crime fiction, mystery, and psychological suspense that reveals what lurks beneath the island’s sunny skies and laid-back charm. Co-edited by Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan and Stephen Kitsakos, this latest installment in Akashic Books’ acclaimed Noir Series features fourteen original stories of murder, larceny, deception, and revenge, all set right here in Key West.
From the colorful streets of Old Town to familiar island landmarks, Key West Noir explores the secrets, scandals, and sinister characters hiding in paradise. The collection features stories by Rosalind Brackenbury, Joanna Brady, Lucy Burdette, Meg Cabot, Hy Conrad, S.A. Cosby, Mike Dennis, Mark Hedden, Stephen Kitsakos, Michael Marrero, Jonathan Santlofer, Katrin Schumann, Alex Segura, and Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan.
Join Kitsakos, Tan, and contributing authors for an evening of conversation and storytelling, followed by a reception in the PEAR House Courtyard next door.
