Wastside Noir

Reflections on the idea of noir ... poems of time and transience ... a true-life murder case ... divorces gone wrong ... the dark side of marriage ... Death takes an apprentice ... a lawyer investigates the laird's past...a tragic eighteenth-century bride ... murderous feelings evoked over an allotment produce show ... an invasion of small furry creatures ...sinister bikers ... murder in a boathouse ... a bored small boy gets into trouble ... and Fred the Praying Mantis comes to a sticky end. Tense, tragic, reflective, humorous and gruesome, this second collection from the Westside Writers includes poetry, prose and photographs focused on the theme of 'noir'.
