Items related to Twelve Tales of Murder (Oxford Twelves)
Synopsis
The stories collected in this nail-biting anthology are a macabre celebration of the ingenuity of murder. Victims meet their ends in ways which are sometimes gruesome, sometimes tragic, but always imaginative, involving methods as diverse as sword swallowing, triggered bank vaults, and exploding sweets.
In Twelve Tales of Murder, Jack Adrian brings together stories by well-known writers in the genre, as well as rarer stories which have for decades been unavailable to readers. For anyone who has ever been gripped by a good murder mystery, and for those who never have but are tempted, Twelve Tales of Murder is a delightful guide to who did what to whom, and how.
