True Romance: A Noir Anthology (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781971773094)

In True Romance: A Noir Anthology, passion isn't red roses and candlelight. Instead, it's obsession, betrayal, revenge, and the kind of desire that leaves bodies in its wake.

Collected and Edited by Troy Lambert and Vincent Zandri, this dark and razor-sharp collection gathers some of the most compelling voices in crime fiction, including Reed Farrel Coleman, Charles Salzberg, Paul D. Brazill, Frank Zafiro, Scott Kikkawa, Danica Favorite, Lawrence Kelter, Rebelry Stone, Samantha Ripley, J.E. Fishman, and more.

Inside these pages, you'll find:

• A philosophy professor who turns deadly revenge into an intellectual exercise.
• A society wife framed for her husband's murder in a web of mob politics and betrayal.
• Lovers whose secrets rot beneath polished exteriors.
• Criminal masterminds are undone by passion.
• Killers who mistake lust for loyalty-and pay the price.

From quiet suburban rot to organized crime empires, from calculated seduction to explosive violence, these stories explore the dangerous intersection where love and darkness meet.

Because in noir, love isn't salvation. It's motive.

Perfect for fans of neo-noir, hardboiled crime, morally complex characters, and dark romantic suspense, True Romance proves that sometimes the most lethal weapon is the human heart.
