Coast to Coast Noir

It doesnt have to be the dark of a rainy night for it to be noir. It doesnt have to be shadowy rooms of Venetian blinds. It doesnt even have to be a femme fatale. Noir is somebody tripping over their own faults somebody who has an Achilles heel some kind of greed or want or desire that leads them down a dark path from which there is sometimes no return. No one is safe. Theres no place to hide in this collection of twelve stories from the dark side of the American Dream. Stories of noir from Coast to Coast.
