Accra Noir (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781617758898)

"Superb . . . Each story reaffirms how fundamental 'place' is to the noir genre and how the locale shapes the story as much as the characters themselves . . . Strongly recommended." --Library Journal

"There's good writing as well as a strong sense of place and culture, and the reader will absorb a side of Accra that doesn't make it into the tourist brochures." --New York Journal of Books
