"Detective Patrolman McClane watched the two-man space station spin
into view, a shining disc against the black backdrop... Waiting for
the airlock to fill, he though bitterly of his
situation—promotion due and he had to get a job like this..."
Telepaths, time machines and alien encounters collide with the
crime and mystery genre in this new collection exploring the space
where detective stories and science fiction meet. To reflect the
broad spectrum of this crossover genre Mike Ashley has selected ten
of its most ingenious mysteries spanning the decades from 1912 to
1972. These are stories of AI acting against programming,
locked-room murders in the confines of spacecraft and cases
pitching the police against psychic perpetrators, penned by some of
the greatest writers of crime and science fiction including P. D.
James, Anthony Boucher, Isaac Asimov and Miriam Allen deFord.
