'Singapore Noir', part of the award-winning series developed by Akashic Books in New York, will launch at Earshot Cafe, 7pm on May 8.
The multi-author anthology of crime fiction will feature the works of 14 illustrious local writers including Colin Cheong, Philip Jeyaretnam, Ovidia Yu and Cheryl Lu-lien Tan, who's also contributing editor.
On her website, Tan reveals that she hopes Singapore Noir "will shed light on the intimate folkways of a lesser-known country much the way Haruki Murakami's collections have shared Japan with us or Flannery O'Connor's stories have shown us the Deep South".
