Details: "Sao Paulo Noir might be the strongest entry yet in the long-running and globe-spanning Akashic Noir series. Editor Tony Bellotto clearly has the Midas touch when it comes to selecting stories . . . Sao Paulo Noir excelled." -- San Francisco Book Review

Akashic Books continues its award-winning series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each book comprises all new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective city. On the heels of Rio Noir, beloved Brazilian rock star and best-selling novelist Tony Bellotto ushers another world-class city into the Akashic Noir Series.

From the introduction by Tony Bellotto:

"Encyclopedias will say that Sao Paulo is the main financial, corporate, and commercial center of South America. The census will show that Sao Paulo is the most populous city in Brazil, the Americas, the Portuguese-speaking world, and the entire Southern Hemisphere . . . Scholars will inform us that Sao Paulo is the most multicultural city in Brazil, having received, since 1870, millions of immigrants from every part of the planet, and that it is the city with the largest populations of people of Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Spanish, and Arab origin outside their respective countries . . . Experts will assure us that Sao Paulo has a high crime rate. Sociologists will confirm that the city has an area known as Cracolandia (Crackland) and that among the violent and neglected communities spread along its periphery, one bears the ironic name Paraisopolis (Paradise City). Politicians will roar that Sao Paulo is the engine that drives Brazil . . .

More than historians and sociologists, writers have always been able to transform cities into great characters. This is the way we decipher devouring sphinxes."
