Hamburg Noir

About

Peter Sarda is a third-generation Californian who has lived and worked in Hamburg, Germany, since the turn of the century. His 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 colorful criminal underworld.

The series is recommended by Publishers Weekly for fans of Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, Philip Kerr, Jakob Arjouni, and Simone Buchholz. The second book is featured in BookLife’s “Cover Crush Profile: Bad Cop by Peter Sarda.” The third book, Edda Green, is listed in The Strand Mystery Magazine’s list of ”Books you need to read.”

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

Sarda writes “pulp to film” reviews for 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.
