Baltimore Noir
The first story, “Easy as A-B-C” by Lippman herself, deals with a contractor who is refurbishing the house he knew as a child and the woman he’s having an affair with who lives there. “Fat Chance” by Robert Ward is a standout story among this group, being the tale of a man who comes back to visit his mom in her nursing home, then runs into an old pal who wants to show him a good time, with unexpected consequences. “Pigtown Will Shine Tonight” is the only story of the bunch that deals with the old days of Baltimore – that of a rape of a local girl from the neighborhood.
