About the book
Brand-new stories by: Diana Gabaldon, Lee Child, James Sallis, Luis Alberto Urrea, Jon Talton, Megan Abbott, Robert Anglen, Patrick Millikin, Laura Tohe, David Corbett, Stella Pope Duarte, and others.Phoenix is a city founded upon shady development deals, good ol' boy politics, police corruption, organized crime, and exploitative use of natural resources. Close proximity to the Mexican border makes the city a natural destination spot for illegal trafficking of all kinds—narcotics, weapons, humans.Modern-day Phoenix is a textbook case of suburban sprawl gone unchecked . . . All of the concrete and asphalt traps the heat, raising the temperature to apocalyptic extremes. What does all this mean? Crime, and lots of it.Best-selling authors along with critically acclaimed Phoenix-based luminaries, and a host of up-and-coming desert scribes, provide a glimpse into the Valley of the Sun's dark underbelly, a side that the tourists rarely see.
