I.D. by Edward D Hoch

With the threat of identity theft ever on the rise, this anthology from the Crime Writers Association is both timely and fascinating, exploring this disturbing modern day crime phenomenon in more than 20 chilling tales. Featuring such leading crime writers as Ian Rankin, Ruth Rendel, Stuart Pawson, and Kate Ellis, the collection includes tension-wrought psychological thrillers and unnerving cat-and-mouse mysteries that prove no character's identity, from the criminal to the victim, is ever fully known.
