Charles Ardai, the founder of Hard Case Crime and the author of some razor-sharp modern noir himself (Songs of Innocence), tells a diverting crime tale in verse in The Good-Neighbor Policy: A Double-Cross in Double Dactyls. While the local homicide captain is off fishing, Pennsylvania deputy coroner Adrian Hennessy fields a surprising call from an elderly busybody who has heard suspicious noises coming from the house of his attractive female neighbor. (Midsummer Night’s [SPD, dist.], $6.95 28p ISBN 978-0-9794208-1-8)
