Every selection in this select volume - whether haunting or whimsical, hard-boiled or cozy, tautly suspenseful or deliciously satiric - bears the mark of a master, like Lawrence Block's in his mesmerizing tale of an ex-con in the grip of sinister temptation or Phil Lovesey's in the story of the terrifying ordeal a patient contrives for his doctor. From a daring rescue executed during the dangerous days of the French Revolution in Anne Perry's "The Escape" to the druggy domain of a paranoid rock star in Melodie Johnson Howe's "Killing the Sixties," this choice collection ventures across continents and centuries in mysteries as ingeniously conceived as they are artfully devised.
