Overview

Enter the world of crime and suspense fiction in this anthology of stories from Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine in which the narrators are part of the mystery. From the caper to the noir tale, we hear from twenty speakers whose particular ways of thinking affect the storytelling in unexpected ways. With a tangled web of biases, personalities, brain chemistry, and even states of being, this book goes far beyond the simple unreliable narrator; sometimes, the reader must be careful not to be the unreliable one, and sometimes the puzzle can only be solved by the narrator's particular view of the world. This volume's lineup of award-winning authors will use their voices to demand you push the boundaries of your own perceptions through stories featuring crooks and kids, private eyes and struggling artists, and more. Stories by: Doug Allyn, Joyce Carol Oates, Martin Edwards, LaToya Jovena, Ian Rankin, Andrew Klavan, Barb Goffman, Daniel C. Bartlett, Tom Tolnay, Hilary Davidson, O.A. Tynan, Ed Gorman, William Burton McCormick, Alice Hatcher, Gary Phillips, Angelique Fawns, Mat Coward, S.J. Rozan, Liza Cody, and Mike McHone. Editors: Janet Hutchings & Jackie Sherbow
