Match wits with great detectives, devious criminals, and some of the
finest minds in the all-time annals of detective literature. From
crime-suspense (Tom Curry's "The Sign") to hard-boiled fiction ("A
Hand of Pinochle") to modern noir ("Soul's Burning" by Bill
Pronzini), the scope of these 100 detective stories is as wide as the
tales are short. They're the brainchildren of such top names as James
M. Barrie ("The Adventure of the Two Collaborators"), O. Henry ("The
Mystery of the Rue de Peychaud"), Charles Dickens ("An Artful
Touch"), Bret Harte ("The Stolen Cigar-Case"), Jack London ("The
Leopard Man's Story"), R.L. Stevens ("The Carnival Caper"), Stephen
Deninger ("Damsel with a Derringer"), Nick Spain ("Duck Behind that
Eight-Ball!"), and countless others. There's even one by Abraham
Lincoln, "The Trailor Murder Mystery," which appeared in 1843. Prison
breakouts, grand larceny, homicide: trying to solve these tricky
cases will be a treat for all mystery fans.
