Once again I'm left scratching my head. Why were some of these stories included in a mystery anthology? Most were well written but I didn't think some of them were mysteries. They were short stories. Some had violence and killings but they were not mysteries, at best they could be classed as crime stories. I guess I won't read any more mystery anthologies edited by Pelecanos. Recommended for some of the stories, but not as an anthology of mysteries.
