✦ Synopsis

There are mean streets everywhere and in every time—New York today, Chicago in the twenties, Hollywood in the thirties—and those streets have ever been the concern of private investigators and their creators.
Twelve stories, published here for the first time in softcover, form this second anthology from The Private Eye Writers of America.
Mean Streets follows in the footsteps of The Eyes Have It, the first PWA anthology, in presenting new stories from old favorites. Included are previous contributors Max Allan Collins, Loren D. Estleman, Stuart M. Kaminsky, Rob Kantner, John Lutz, Sara Paretsky, and Bill Pronzini—joined by some very popular mystery writers making their first appearance in a PWA anthology: Wayne D. Dundee, William Campbell Gault, Sue Grafton, Arthur Lyons, and Dick Stodghill.

Includes the following 12 short stories:

MAX ALLAN COLLINS—House Call
