The most popular noir books of 2020

Noir is crime fiction at its darkest. Its heroes are tired detectives, small-time crooks and ordinary people who make one bad choice, and the world around them is corrupt from top to bottom. Hard-boiled classics sit here beside modern noir. Expect sharp dialogue, moral gray and few happy endings. This list shows the ones first published in 2020.
