Barry Forshaw is acknowledged as a leading expert on European crime fiction, but his principal area of expertise is in the crime arena of the British Isles. Continuing the earlier success of the series with Nordic Noir and Euro Noir, he has now delivered the definitive reader’s guide to modern British crime fiction.

Every major living writer of the British Isles is considered, often through a concentration on one or two key books, and exciting new talents are highlighted for the reader. And as the genre is as much about films and TV as it is about books, Brit Noir celebrates crime on the screen as well as on the page.

About the Author

Barry Forshaw is the author of "Euro Noir," "Nordic Noir," "Death in a Cold Climate: A Guide to Scandinavian Crime Fiction," and "The Man Who Left Too Soon." He edits "Crime Time" and is the former vice chair of the Crime Writers' Association.
