Synopsis:

This anthology includes 21 stories by Stuart Kaminsky, Max Allan Collins, Sara Paretsky, Libby Fischer Hellmann, Marcus Sakey, Sean Chercover, J.A. Konrath, Barbara D'Amato, and more. It was originally published in hardcover and paperback in October, 2007. Blue is the new Noir, and nobody does Blues like Chicago. This collection of dark stories from some of the best Chicago crime fiction authors captures the depths to which people sink when they have the Blues. The emptiness and pain caused by greed. The violence of revenge. And, occasionally, the bittersweet redemption that comes from a broken heart. Whether it s the back alleys of Lower Wacker, the Blues clubs of yesteryear, or even the baseline at Wrigley Field, these stunning edgy tales of desperation, deceit, love gone bad, and revenge will haunt you like the riff of a Muddy Waters tune you can t get our of your head. Read these stories and see why the heart of Chicago throbs to the beat of the Blues... and why the Blues are made for Chicago.

About the Author: Libby Fischer Hellmann left a career in broadcast news in Washington, DC and moved to Chicago over 35 years ago, where she, naturally, began to write gritty crime fiction. Fifteen novels and twenty-five short stories later, she claims they ll take her out of the Windy City feet first. She has been nominated for many awards in the mystery and crime writing community and has even won a few.
