The book, Pittsburgh Noir, features stories by Stewart O’Nan, Tom Lipinski, Kathleen George, Nancy Martin, K.C. Constantine, Kathryn Miller Haines and others. Meet some of these interesting authors as they describe the backgrounds for their stories that take place all over the city and their inspiration for writing about Pittsburgh’s Dark Side.
