Women. Crime. Justice. At least the search for it. On the mean streets, the back allies, the dark corners. These are stories of tough women in hard places. The nights are long, the women are fast, and danger is always a short block or quick minute away. Edited by award winning author/editors J.M. Redmann and Greg Herren, Women of the Mean Streets is an anthology of some of the top, tough women crime writers today, noir stories with a lesbian twist.… (plus d'informations)
"Fresh Meat" by Victoria Janssen for Criminal Element
I eagerly scooped up Bold Strokes Books’ new anthology Women of the Mean Streets, because it fills a gap long empty in noir. For most of history, female characters in this mystery subgenre have been relegated to serving as either femmes fatale or victims.
Women of the Mean Streets, however, offers a wide range of roles for women in a wide range of literary styles, and can be enjoyed far beyond a lesbian audience.
Readers may pick up the title for Laura Lippman’s “A.R.M. and the Woman,” but my two favorite stories in the anthology, ones that illustrate the range of the collection, are Miranda Kent’s “Some Kind of Killing” and Lindy Cameron’s “Feedback.”
FYI Review - This anthology contains the following: -A.R.M. and the Woman by Laura Lippman -Den of Inequity by Lori L.

"For neither life nor nature cares if justice is every done or not." -Patricia Highsmith
Women. Crime. Justice - or what can be found in the far corners of a dim streetlight or deserted road. A hasty kiss with the clouds cover the moon. A tryst in someone else's bed. On the mean streets, the back alleys, the sinister corners. The dark unleashes sex and violence in a way that just won't do in a cozy mystery or happy romance. -Introduction
