Richmond Noir

David L. Robbins`s `Homework`, a moving account of a brief encounter between a burglar and a teacher, stands head and shoulders above the 14 other tales in Akashic`s solid noir anthology devoted to Richmond, VA. Pir Rothenberg`s `The Rose Red Vial`, among the better of the many recent Poe-inspired stories, features nicely nasty betrayals and counterbetrayals among those who covet Poe memorabilia on loan to the Virginia Historical Society. Set in 1807, Dean King`s concise The Fall Lines supplies an intriguing backstory to Aaron Burr`s treason trial. In Howard Owen`s `The Thirteenth Floor`, a well-done contemporary fair play whodunit, a political reporter reassigned to the night police beat ends up investigating a murder-by-gunshot in his own apartment building.
