Most Read This Week In Noir

Noir fiction is a name given to a mode of crime fiction which can be regarded as a subset of the hardboiled style.

In this sub-genre, the protagonist is usually not a detective, but instead either a victim, a suspect, or a perpetrator. He is someone tied directly to the crime, not an outsider called to solve or fix the situation.


See also pulp noir.

Theasa Tuohy
“ When they reached the Hôtel de Ville, early as it was, its fountain waters already danced in the lights playing on the magnificent old building. On good days, dusk stays long in Paris, but barely into September as it was now, evenings stretched way into the night ”
― Theasa Tuohy, Mademoiselle le Sleuth

Dennis Lehane
“ In Greek tragedy, they fall from great heights. In noir, they fall from the curb. ”
― Dennis Lehane
