Amor Towles selects the best mystery short stories of the year including tales by Andrew Child Jeffery Deaver and T.C. Boyle. In his introduction to this volume guest editor Amor Towles pays tribute to the forgotten person of the mystery story―the cadaver. "Male or female old or young rich or poor" he writes "for over a hundred years the cadaver has been accommodating gracious and generally on time. There is no other figure in crime who has proven to be more reliable." Like the cadaver this anthology series now in its third year of publication is also proving reliable bringing to readers the finest mystery/crime/suspense stories of the year from a variety of sources including mystery and general interest magazines anthologies online publications and literary periodicals. Among the treasures collected herein are Jeffery Deaver's "Dodge" in which a chess match between a volatile woman and a U.S. marshal takes a surprise twist; "The Landscaper's Wife" a suspense-filled tale by Brendan DuBois that explodes all expectation; and Kerry Hammond's "Strangers at a Table" which offers a darkly witty homage to Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. The collection contains well-known authors such as T.C. Boyle and up-and-comers such as Jessi Lewis; it features tales with famous crime-fighters Jack Reacher and Sherlock Holmes and a bonus story from the annals of mystery history by Edith Wharton. In short these pages promise something for every reader of crime fiction no matter the particularities of his or her taste. Mysterious Press hardcover
