Reviews

"Brussels, Belgium's cosmopolitan, multilingual capital, has it criminal underside, as shown in the 13 dark--and sometimes darkly humorous--stories in this strong Akashic noir volume."
Publishers Weekly
"A perfect choice for those who love noir or those who love armchair traveling, this assortment of short stories gives the reader a glimpse into what life in the Belgian capital is like. An excellent entry in Akashic Books' noir series, which began with Brooklyn Noir more than a decade ago, Brussels Noir takes readers through the underbelly of yet another fascinating locale."
Self Awareness for Readers
"Akashic Books deserves kudos for their fine service to noir . . . If these volumes are designed to give crime writers a nifty forum and also capture the local flair and flavor, Brussels Noir is a fine come-hither."
New York Journal of Books
