These are visions of the city, both of what it was and what some of its citizens hoped it would either become or conversely cease to be. The photographs—most of which look like stills from period movies featuring detectives with chiselled features, tough women, and bullet-ridden cars—speak to the styles of the Noir era and tell us something special about the ways in which a city is made and unmade.
The authors argue that noir-era values and perspectives are to be found in the photographic record of the city in this era, specifically in police and newspaper pictures.

"Much like a ride on the Giant Dipper rollercoaster at Happyland (the 1930s precursor to Playland), VANCOUVER NOIR is chock full of informative thrills, spills, and chills."—BC Studies
"The atmosphere of the mean streets is conveyed in the book's many photographs: black-and-white images of rain-slick pavement, crime scenes, nightclubs, mobsters and hookers…VANCOUVER NOIR retrieves this disreputable side of the city's history and presents it in all its black-and-wh
