Twenty lethal mysteries. Twenty master storytellers. One explosive collection of the year's best crime fiction.
Drawn from thousands of candidate stories, this premier collection showcases the striking range of modern crime writing. Michael Connelly reopens an unsolved Los Angeles homicide, while Eileen Dreyer places a tense confrontation in Times Square on VJ Day.
Across these pages, Joyce Carol Oates charts a dark adolescent obsession, and Randall Silvis follows two brothers in a working-class taproom outside Pittsburgh. Rich in suspense, the selections deliver lean, gripping narratives that hit with immediate force.
A best-selling novelist and Edgar Award winner, Lisa Scottoline brings her mastery of the thriller genre as well as her wit and heart to this collection of the must-reads in mysteries.
