Berlin Noir

A jet-black declaration of love for Berlin. 13 short stories, 13 perspectives, 13 neighborhoods - and 13 fascinating pieces of a larger puzzle. An exciting literary portrait of the city made up of original stories by established top authors and exciting newcomers written especially for this anthology. The book Berlin is a metropolis in constant flux. Chaotic, colorful, fragmented and multilayered. The city has no center, but an infinite number of sociotopes, lifestyles and mentalities. The poor meet the rich, the bourgeois meet artists, the up-and-coming meet the down-and-out. A young woman from a middle-class home ends up in the homeless scene around Bahnhof Zoo; a shootout between an ex-cop and a small-time hood ends fatally; a historian researches a crime whose origins lie in the turmoil of the postwar years; the tender love story between a bout.
