Love means nothing in tennis. 

This is a collection of hand-picked authors contributing unique and original crime stories. Noir features protagonists that are either victims, suspects, or perpetrators—often self-destructive. It’s all here: murder, revenge, heists, betrayal, double fault, break, advantage, and the dreaded alley. It’s a racket. 

Stories by Scott Adleberg, Richard Brewer, Colin Campbell, Jen Conley, A.C. Frieden, Steve Jankowski, Lawrence Maddox, Wil Medearis, Gary Phillips, Travis Richardson, Linda Sands, Ann Shepphird, John Shepphird, and Jason Starr. 

John Shepphird is a Shamus Award-winning author, two-time Anthony Award finalist, and writer/director of television films. Novels include Deception Specialist (Jack O’Shea series book #1) and the Hollywood-themed thriller Bottom Feeders. John's short fiction has appeared in Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine and various crime fiction anthologies. As director, films include Jersey Shore Shark Attack, Chupacabra Terror, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, and Teenage Bonnie & Klepto Clyde.
