This first in a series of anthologies sponsored by the British Crime Writers Association features 22 short stories with urban themes. The editor notes that he was looking for stories that offered imaginative takes on the familiar idea of big-city crime. He certainly got what he wanted. Notable British writers, the majority of whom have at least one major mystery award under their belts, have contributed a fine collection of stories that are funny, tragic, offbeat, suspenseful, or plain weird.
The Official Anthology of The Crime Writers’ Association, this is an outstanding collection of urban-based murder, mystery and mayhem from such masters of the genre as Ruth Rendell, John Harvey Bill James, Val McDermind and Reginald Hill, as well as newcomers like Mat Coward, Carol Anne Davies, Jurgen Ehlers, Phil Lovesey and Kathryn Skoyles. Set in the mean streets of New York, Rio de Janeiro, St Petersburg, Edinburgh, London and more, expect thrills, spills, chills and surprises galore.
