A dazzling collection of crime and mystery stories by Black authors.

Bringing together today's brightest talent from the field—from Walter Mosley, “one of America's best mystery writers” (The New York Times), to the late Hugh Holton, whose “gift for retaining suspense is golden” (Chicago Sun-Times)—it is the first anthology of African-American mystery writers. Shades of Black is not only a tribute to the art of storytelling, it's a fascinating foray into the rich and widely varied Black experience.
