Renowned authors Katherine Anne Porter, Jack Kerouac, Stephen King, Rex Burns, Robert Greer, Michael Connelly, and Kali Fajardo-Anstine--among many others--have brilliantly portrayed this picturesque but often merciless city. Today, Denver is home to a thriving literary scene, with writers of all stripes finding inspiration in its people and streets. The authors and stories featured in Denver Noir are no exception . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEditing \u003cem\u003eDenver Noir\u003c\/em\u003e, working with this talented group of writers, has been one of the highlights of my career.
