Description:
Hillerman and Penzler offer an unparalleled treasury of American suspense fiction. The editors winnowed these fifty-five selections from a thousand stories, drawing on hundreds of diverse sources. Giants of the genre abound -- Raymond Chandler, Lawrence Block, Sue Grafton, Elmore Leonard, Sara Paretsky, and others -- but the editors also unearthed gems by luminaries rarely found in mystery anthologies: William Faulkner, Ring Lardner, Damon Runyon, James Thurber, and Joyce Carol Oates. Nowhere else can readers find a more thorough, more engaging, more essential distillation of American suspense.
