| | | Bestselling novelist Deaver edits this latest collection of the genre''s finest from the past year. Featuring gritty tales told with panache, this is a must-read for anybody who cares about crime stories ("Booklist").
Annotation:
Going strong for since the late 1990s, this series celebrates the best short fiction America produces every year in the realm of crime fiction and mysteries. The 2009 edition has been expertly edited by stalwarts of the genre Jeffrey Deaver and Otto Penzler, and contributors include big names like Joyce Carol Oates, Michael Connelly, and Alice Munro, as well as lesser-known writers such as Alafair Burke and James Lee.
| Praise| "Jeffery Deaver, citing the unlimited subgenres of mystery writing, says the only thing these stories have in common is that they are short. They're also fabulously written....[T]hese stories are masterfully told and wonderfully creepy." - Carol Memmott 10/21/2009 "As always, part of the pleasure derives from exposure to writers who have yet to gain the acclaim they deserve...."
