Classic and Modern Noir Novels: A Personal View - Page 2

" First you dream, then you die"
Our crime fiction fanatic looks at the roman noir, and comes up with 107 of the best classic and contemporary noir fiction.
7/7/23 Note: It should have been 108. How the hell I left James Ellroy's "The Big Nowhere" off this list, I do not know. It's my favorite of the "L. A. Quartet "; it should be here. Mea Culpa.
