San Diego is home to miles of beaches, Balboa Park, a world-famous zoo & some of the US`s most expensive homes & resorts. Yet the city also houses a few things that aren`t actively promoted by the visitor`s bureau
- a number of America`s most corrupt politicians, border-related crimes, terrorists & the occasional earthquake. A noir feast! The San Diego of the past & the present offers the book`s contributors a rich selection of settings, from the cross on Mount Soledad to the piers of Ocean Beach.
