Dirty Noir is ten stories of the riptide in human affairs, for those of us who are magnetically drawn to the passionate, strange and dreadful.

Get ready to meet the honeymoon couple who encounter grief in Mexico; Zack, the schoolboy assassin in love with a circus beauty; Miguel, who proves to be unexpectedly dangerous; the Giant Rat of Sumatra, cruellest contract-killer in the business, and Phoebe, perhaps the strangest, and surely the sharpest, woman in fiction.

These and many other mad, bad and too-dangerous-to-know individuals await you in Dirty Noir, a collection of short stories from authors Martin Mulligan and Jack D. McLean.
