The 19 stories featured in the superb Miami Noir: The Classics are solidly entertaining and a thoughtful history about life, crime and punishment in South Florida.-- "South Florida Sun-Sentinel"
Miami hasn't been around for long, as cities go--just a little over a century. But it's been fertile ground for crime fiction almost from the beginning. The evidence is clear in Miami Noir: The Classics . . . [Standiford's] choices for the 19 stories in this volume are fascinating.-- "Tampa Bay Times"
