Grand Central Terminal. The most dynamic building in the most dynamic city in the world. Thousands travel into and out of it every day. Get their shoes shined or buy a new outfit before a posh dinner at Michael Jordan’s or, less posh to some, Two Boots. All without having to step outside. Meet business partners, families, lovers, friends. Even criminal cohorts. It’s absolutely a world of its own. A world of hellos and goodbyes. A maze. A limbo. A banal conduit for some. A refuge for others. A tourist destination for throngs.
In short, a place teeming with stories.
Which is why we have assembled more than a dozen tales from some of the best authors working today. Specifically, stories about crime. For years, Grand Central Terminal has been seen as a place of despair, where the gullible arrived by the dozens and the homeless and the addicted flocked lacking anywhere else to go. Now celebrating its hundredth year, the terminal is experiencing something of a renaissance, but still, in the most dynamic city in the world, the most dynamic building lends itself to tales of adventure, of redemption, and of noir.
