Amazon Description:
Anthony Horowitz selects and introduces the best mystery
stories from the past year, under the auspices of the world’s oldest mystery
fiction specialty bookshop.
From a
pool of over 3,000 considered stories published last year―anything that touched
on crime, mystery, and suspense, from venues as disparate as The Strand
Magazine, Dark Yonder, Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, The
Bellevue Literary Review, and more―these are the very best, selected by
series editor Otto Penzler and guest editor Anthony Horowitz.
The
tales included cover a range of styles, highlighting the diversity of subjects
and forms comprising the genre we call mystery fiction. Featuring a mixture of
household names, masters of the short form, and newcomers to the field, the
collection offers a variety that promises something for every reader. And it’s
all capped off by a vintage story from the first half of the previous century,
sourced directly from the rare book room at the Mysterious Bookshop, the oldest
mystery fiction specialty store in the world.
