"The variety of approaches and the general level of quality are impressiveAll of these stories except King's could easily have been expanded into full-length novels but none would be the better for it." MYSTERY SCENE, Spring 2005 "McBain's belief in the novella is upheld by solid contributions from John Farris and Joyce Carol Oates in an anthology that also represents surprisingly good value." METRO (LONDON), 24 Nov "A brilliant package of longish short stories by the world's best crime writers. McBain's own story... is pure genius."

The editor of this collection, Ed McBain, was born Salvatore Lambino in New York. He changed his name to Evan Hunter and under that name is known as the author of The Blackboard Jungle and as the writer of the screenplay for Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. As Ed McBain, he is most famous for the inimitable 87th Precinct series of novels - which now numbers over fifty titles. A Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America, Ed McBain was also one of only three American writers to be awarded the CWA Diamond Dagger for lifetime achievement. His death earlier this year left the crimewriting world in mourning for one of its leading lights.
