Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. The Noir Series first moved into Europe with London Noir, Dublin Noir and Paris Noir. Following subsequent entries - Rome Noir, Helsinki Noir, Barcelona Noir, etc. - the series has finally found its way to one of the elephants in the European room: Brussels, a city of contradictions, turmoil, violence and hypocrisy (particularly as a leader of 'New Europe').
