In the 21 stories in Murder Most Postal, all by masters of the
mystery genre, the mail takes centre stage. Edgar Allan Poe is here
with his classic detective tale of a letter gone astray and the
cunning way in which it is retrieved. Lawrence Block tells of the
correspondence between a death-row inmate and the brother of the
woman he killed, and of the deadly consequences for both. Ellery
Queen investigates a puzzling philatelic theft. And Matt Costello
writes of letters in cyberspace, as a man pours out his heart to a
stranger in a chat room in the last messages he will ever write.
