- Description
- "In this, Anthony Boucher's fourth collection of the best in mystery and suspense short fiction, the New York Times critic proves again that a good mystery story is a work of art. For each of the stories chosen is distinguished not only by plot but by the atmosphere and quality of the writing. Mr. Boucher covered the field in order to find the most outstanding candidates: he picked from the leading mystery magazines and from book-length publications. The range is wide: from the well-represented formal detective story to the pure suspense tale; from the grimly realistic to the ironically macabre; from the private eye to the parody-pastiche"--Dust jacket.
