Two novellas and two short stories featuring Mystery Writers of America Grandmaster Bill Pronzini's iconic Nameless Detective!
__
Zigzag is an original novella, in which a safe and simple accident investigation becomes the unraveling of a twisted murder scheme.
Grapplin , which first appeared in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine , deals with the kind of missing person case that can end in only one of two ways, closure or heartbreak.
In the second short, Nightscape , readers discover how, indeed, one thing just leads to another (First published in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine as The Winning Ticket).
The final work, Revenant , is another original novella and entangles Nameless in a weird crime with fearful occult overtones.
