BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES 4, THE by Michael Connelly - SIGNED FIRST EDITION UK BOOK

See all titles by Michael Connelly.

'The short story deals with issues and themes large and small. But it does it succinctly and quickly. The short story is a car for the short track. Put the top down and power into the curves.' From the introduction by Michael Connelly This year's installment boasts pulse-quickening stories from all reaches of the genre, selected by the one and only Michael Connelly. His choices include the Prohibition-era tale of a scorned lover's revenge, a bar owner's gutsy attempt to outwit the mob and a tale of murder by psychology.This edition features mystery favorites Elmore Leonard, Walter Mosley, James Crumley and Joyce Carol Oates as well as talented up-and-comers, for a diverse collection sure to thrill all readers.

Dennis Lehane opens 'Until Gwen' in a stolen Dodge Neon with an 8-ball of coke in the glove compartment and a hooker named Mandy in the back seat and accelerates from there, Louise Erdrich's 'Disaster Stamps of Pluto' leads us into a nearly extinct North Dakota town where the dead outnumber the living, Daniel Handler poses a classic 'locked room' mystery in 'Delmonico' while Joseph Raiche's 'One Mississippi' takes a hellish subway journey and David Rachel's 'The Last Man I Killed' follows a path that winds from the Eastern Front in 1945 to a midwestern state university twenty years later.

Showcasing the very best of American crime writing, here are twenty stand-out short stories notable for their dark tone, frequent plot twists, and - above all - their outright entertainment value.
