- Summary
- Ever since its creation, the Crime Writers' Association has championed the very best in murder and mystery. Now, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of this esteemed organization, Mysterious Pleasures showcases the short stories of some of its most illustrious members. All the contributors are winners of the CWA's prestigious Diamond or Gold Dagger Awards, or have served as chairman, or, in many cases, all three. From Eric Ambler to Ian Rankin, Dick Francis to Ruth Rendell, John Creasey to Sara Paretsky, here are tales that alternately tantalize, intrigue, shock, surprise, and thrill--a myriad of styles united only by genre and by the sheer quality of the writing. A box of delights--some hard-centered, some soft, some with a drop of poison.
