Twenty shocking stories starring twenty edgy, outrageous and badly behaved heroines.

Half Philip Marlowe, half femme fatale, these female sleuths are tough enough to take on thugs, tender enough to be moved to tears. They make their own rules, and their morals are always questionable. Here are women who think it's perfectly possible to save the world while wearing a pretty dress and stiletto heels. And their stories cover all the basses, from hot sex to cold calculation.

So take a leap into the Tart Noir world. The girls are waiting for you.

Ok...so the back of the book is a tad cheesy...but this is Lauren Henderson here! Did you miss my love affair with her work? Well, that's why I bought this collection of stories. I'll write them up individually...if I'm not a huge slacker, which I generally am.
