Seven Authors with three stories each, hence the triple threat—presenting 21 exciting stories of crime and noir. From early stories of Edmond D. Hoch to bestselling authors Richard S. Prather and Frank Kane. From acclaimed writers, Ed Lacy, to king of the juvenile delinquent novel, Hal Ellson. Two underappreciated masters of the craft, Bryce Walton and Art Crockett are also included. You’ll find tales of sex, violence, racism, crime, and of course, private detectives. These twenty-one stories run the gamut of noir from scandalous, raucous escapism to poignant epiphany.
