An often violent one. But a resilient city too.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThat’s our Memphis.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLike many cities, we have a namesake—in Egypt, Men-nefer became Menfe became Memphis, enduring and beautiful, on the banks of the Nile. Centuries later, another continent, another people, another river: Memphis, Tennessee, the soul of the Mississippi Delta, was formed. We are a place born of history, inhabited as much by memory as by the living—the past and present inextricably and inescapably linked . . . . Memphis is marvels and misfits—two-faced and unabashedly so.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWe are Memphis, and this is our noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLEONARD GILL\u003c\/b\u003e (1953–2017) was born and raised in Memphis.
