Description
A new collection of baffling crime tales to challenge the armchair detective. With twenty-nine tales of impossible crime, this new anthology from veteran mystery editor Mike Ashley follows in the tradition of his top-selling *The Mammoth Book of Historical Detectives* and *The Mammoth Book of New Sherlock Holmes Adventures*. It includes perplexing tales, many of them in print for the first time, by such masters of mystification as Michael Collins, H. R. F. Keating, Peter Lovesey, Kate Ellis, Susanna Gregory, Bill Pronzini, and Lawrence Block.
