CRIME + MUSIC: The Sounds of Noir, collects twenty darkly
intense, music-related noir stories by world-renowned
mystery authors including David Corbett, Tyler Dilts,
Brendan DuBois, Bill Fitzhugh, Alison Gaylin, A.J. Hartley,
Craig Johnson, David Liss, Val McDermid, Gary Phillips,
Peter Robinson, and Zoë Sharp, and, from the music world,
Galadrielle Allman, author of Please Be With Me: A Song for
My Father, Duane Allman and award-winning
songwriter-novelist Willy Vlautin. Edited by novelist and
Wall Street Journal rock and pop music critic Jim Fusilli.
The lively anthology’s chilling, sinister tales tap into the
span of rock and pop history, ranging from Peter Blauner’s
heart-wrenching “The Last Temptation of Frankie Lymon” to
Fusilli’s “Boy Wonder,” set in the world of contemporary
electronic dance music; from Naomi Rand’s “The Misfits,” a
punk-rock revenge saga to Mark Haskell Smith’s menacingly
comedic “1968 Pelham Blue SG Jr.”; from Reed Farrel
Coleman’s study of a one-hit wonder, “Look at Me/Don’t Look
at Me” to Erica Wright’s account of betrayal among minor
talents in “A Place You’re Likely to Find”—and many more.
CRIME + MUSIC exposes the nasty side of the world of popular
music, revealing it to be the perfect setting for noir tales.
