✦ Synopsis
Newcomers, international names, and old favorites offer up a varied itinerary for the adventurous traveler in crime. The accommodations are diverse: a convent or a gas chamber, castles in Spain or flats in Hong Kong, a room full of cobwebs or a Breton barn, Millionaires’ Row in London or perhaps a suite on a luxury liner bound for New York.
A comprehensive catalog of atmosphere, sensuality, comedy, and horror, this second annual volume by the Crime Writers’ Association leaves no corner unexamined.
