Selected by #1 bestselling author Lee Child: the twenty finest
short stories of 2021. There is no finer form for a crime than the
short story. WIthin a few pages, a clue can be discovered, divulged
and its significance determined; all else is mere embellishment.
The classic mystery tale will be familiar to aficionados and casual
readers alike: it was invented by Edgar Allen Poe, popularised by
Arthur Conan Doyle, and perfected by Agatha Christie. But mystery
fiction has changed a great deal over the years - as have all
things - and the writers within these pages present far more than a
simple case of crime and resolution. Far from predictable, these
stories provide fertile grounds of aberrant circumstances and the
poor choices they lead to. You will find diverse methods and
motivations, original perspectives and perils. Above all, you will
find tales of the extremes of human psychology caused by despair,
hate, greed, fear, envy, insanity or love. Featuring stories by:
Doug Allyn, Jim Allyn, Ambrose Bierce, Michael Bracken, James Lee
Burke, Martin Edwards, John Floyd, Jacqueline Freimor, Alison
Gaylin, Sue Grafton, Paul Kemprecos, Stephen King, Janice Law,
Dennis McFadden, David Marcum, Tom Mead, David Morrell, Joyce Carol
Oates, Sara Paretsky, Joseph Walker, Andrew Welsh-Huggins.
