For each volume, a series editor reads pieces from hundreds of periodicals, then selects between fifty and a hundred outstanding works. That selection is pared down to twenty or so very best pieces by a guest editor who is widely recognized as a leading writer in his or her field. This unique system has helped make the Best American series the most respected -- and most popular -- of its kind.\u003cbr\u003e   This seventh installment of the premier mystery anthology boasts pulse-quickening stories from all reaches of the genre, selected by the world-renowned mystery writer Michael Connelly. His choices include a Prohibition-era tale of a scorned lover's revenge, a Sherlock Holmes\u003cen\u003einspired mystery solved by an actor playing the famous detective onstage, stories of a woman's near-fatal search for self-discovery, a bar owner's gutsy attempt to outwit the mob, and a showdown between double-crossing detectives, and a tale of murder by psychology. This year's edition features mystery favorites as well as talented up-and-comers, for a diverse colleciton sure to thrill all readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJames Crumley Pete Dexter Brendan DuBois Elmore Leonard Walter Mosley Joyce Carol Oates\u003c\/en\u003e","brand":"Mariner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46806001287423,"sku":"9780618329656","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780618329656_s600x595.jpg?v=1781621334","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780618329656","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
