William Kent Krueger (Ordinary Grace, the Cork
O’Connor series) brings us a story of romance and grift. Bill Pronzini (the
Nameless Detective and Carpenter & Quincannon series) offers a taut episode
of a midnight raid. Joe R. Lansdale (The Bottoms, the Hap and Leonard series)
tells a tale of two hit men working through their differences. James Sallis
(Drive, the Lew Griffin series) shows us how a deadly figure once helped out a
man called Bill. Charlaine Harris (the Sookie Stackhouse and Midnight, Texas
series) reminds us to be careful of what we wish for. Sara Paretsky (the V.I.
Warshawski series) shows how truly deadly a terrible storm can be.
These and fourteen more stories are offered here in
the appreciation of our friend and colleague, Bill Crider. These stories were
written for him.
