The National City Reparation Society

Original Fiction | Short Story | Thrillers and Noir | San Diego | Hustlers and Hucksters | Thievery

’67 Impalas with hydraulic lifters...

San Diego is home to miles of beaches, Balboa Park, a world-famous zoo, and some of the country's most expensive home and resort real estate. Yet the city also houses a few items that aren't actively promoted by the visitor's bureau: a number of the country's most corrupt politicians, border-related crimes, terrorists, and the occasional earthquake. In the 50-plus years since Raymond Chandler set Playback in Esmeralda, his name for La Jolla, the population has grown by more than a million, and crime has proliferated as well. San Diego of the past and present offers the book's contributors a rich selection of settings, from the cross on Mount Soledad to the piers of Ocean Beach, and perpetrators and victims from the residents of its wealthiest enclaves to the inhabitants of its segregated barrios.
“National City Reparation Society” is an exclusive short story by Luis Alberto Urrea from San Diego Noir, edited by Maryelizabeth Hart
