An anthology of the best crime and suspense fiction from 2001: "An absolute must for both the seasoned and casual reader of crime fiction. Leave plenty of time to revisit your favorite authors and to find some new ones. Very highly recommended" (BookPage.com). Two years ago, award-winning authors Ed Gorman and Martin H. Greenberg first gave mystery-loving readers the ultimate anthology of suspense and crime fiction from around the world, including from Germany, Belgium, the U.K. and the United States. Combining their talents once again, this duo has returned to entice, to bewilder, and to thrill readers with the best stories of the year. Included are tales by: · Lawrence Block · Jeffrey Deaver · Carolyn Hart · Val McDermid · Joyce Carol Oates · Anne Perry · Nancy Pickard · Ruth Rendell · Donald E. Westlake · And Many Others "Something for every mystery taste. An excellent value for the money." ― Publishers Weekly (starred review)
