Tim McLoughlin and Thomas Adcock (ed.): Brooklyn Noir 3 - Nothing But The Truth (2008) From the Publisher: There is a difference, as editor, between cheering the literary accomplishment of a fiction writer who has delivered a brilliant story about a serial killer or hit man, and reading the true account, however beautifully written, of a young woman raped, murdered, and forgotten. So this book, though it has its light moments (and thank God for those), is for me the darkest of the Brooklyn Noir series. These pieces remind us that crime is personal. It happens to us and to our neighbors. Sometimes it happens because we do nothing to prevent it. Life does not always offer the moral are we so desperately crave in fiction. If it did, we'd have no need for myths and fables, religion or miracles.
