Hamburg Noir

About

Peter Sarda is a third-generation Californian who cut his literary teeth on classic pulp fiction and film noir. His hardboiled crime thriller series, Hamburg Noir, is set in his adoptive home, a rugged harbor town with lots of old trading money, a "sinful mile" devoted to the world's oldest profession, and a robust and colorful criminal underworld. Publishers Weekly recommends the series for fans of Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Philip Kerr.

Hamburg Noir was showcased at the London Book Fair and is stocked by Waterstones Piccadilly. All three books in the series can be purchased online from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org, Foyles, Indigo, and Waterstones. Digital review copies are available on Edelweiss.

Sarda’s “Pulp to Film” reviews are a regular feature in Red Herrings, the magazine of the Crime Writers’ Association. He is a “shamus” of the Film Noir Foundation and the primary source for “Crime and the City: Hamburg” on CrimeReads.
