May 17, 2008 Year's Finest Crime & Mystery Stories (Book 3)
The year's finest in short crime fiction! Including Oates, Deaver, Block, Perry, Muller, and Connelly.

In the past ten years, it's become obvious that crime and mystery fiction has become the most popular form of entertainment for literary and television audiences alike. And as more readers are discovering, mystery fiction isn't limited to the longer forms. Some of the most enjoyable, startling, and memorable crime and mystery fiction can be found in the shorter lengths.

Award-winning editors Ed Gorman and Martin H. Greenberg have put together their best anthology yet. The names of the authors say it all: Joyce Carol Oates • Jeffrey Deaver • Lawrence Block • Michael Connelly • Anne Perry • Marcia Muller

These New York Times-bestselling writers are joined by a prodigious group of veterans and newcomers who promise to intrigue and delight. So sit back and relax in the company of some of the world's finest writers, gathered here to give you many nights of pleasure and thrills.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Drawing more than half their selections from Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Gorman and Greenberg offer a star-studded lineup of crime and mystery stories published in 2007 in their latest anthology. Among the highlights are Jeffery Deaver's Making Amends, which plays a deadly twist on a popular TV sitcom; Sandra Scoppettone's Everybody Loves Somebody, which will fool most readers; and Doug Allyn's Dead as a Dog, which pits a harried husband against a deadly hunter. Other notable entries include Loren D. Estleman's The Profane Angel, about Hollywood legend Carole Lombard, and Brendan DuBois's Country Manners, in which a rural New Hampshire PI gives the FBI a lesson. Jon L. Breen provides a critical overview of the year, while Sarah Weinman, who chose four online stories for the volume, supplies a brief survey of online mysteries. (June)
