Twenty of the best mystery short stories of the year, from Michael
Connelly, Jo Nesbo, Joyce Carol Oates, Colson Whitehead, and many
more in this crime connoisseur's collection. Under the auspices of
New York City's legendary mystery fiction specialty bookstore, The
Mysterious Bookshop, and aided by Edgar Award-winning anthologist
Otto Penzler, international bestseller and MWA Grandmaster Sara
Paretsky has selected the twenty most puzzling, most thrilling, and
most mysterious short stories from the past year, collected now in
one entertaining volume. 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. Within a few pages, a clue can be discovered,
divulged, and its significance determined: all else is mere
embellishment. Featuring stories by: Doug Allyn, Colin Barrett,
Jerome Charyn, Michael Connelly, Susan Frith, Tom Larsen, Sean
Marciniak, Stefon Mears, Keith Lee Morris, Gwen Mullins, Jo Nesbo,
Joyce Carol Oates, Annie Reed, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Anna Scotti,
Ginny Swart, Ellen Tremiti, Joseph S. Walker, Colson Whitehead, and
Michael Wiley – plus a bonus vintage story from the annals of
mystery fiction, written over a century ago.
