David Barrie is a crime writer who has lived in Paris for over twenty years. The city looms large in his NOIR CHIC crime novels. A sense of place has always been one of the foundations of quality crime fiction. Barries novels are true to the city in which they are set: stylish, sophisticated and crafted with an eye for the tiniest detail.
As for Barries own take on what he does, heres an extract from a recent interview: Crime fiction is a genre that has never turned its back on the simple pleasures of colourful characters and compelling plots. Its not ashamed to be entertaining, even while its doing its best to keep the reader on his or her toes.
If its dark, alluring and has a wicked sense of style, its probably NOIR CHIC.
