Synopsis

Climb on board the Orion express with Ian Rankin, Ed McBain, Peter Straub, H.R.F. Keating, Peter Lovesey and many more for what promises to be the perfect journey in search of the perfect crime ...

Fifteen men and women out for justice. Deception, betrayal, greed, revenge, hate and psychosis: fifteen motives, fifteen brand new novellas from writers at the cutting edge of contemporary crime fiction. In Criminal Records, editor Otto Penzler offers you the chance to catch up on some old friends - and meet several new ones. Whether you’re taking driving lessons with Ed McBain, assisting Rankin’s Inspector Rebus in his search for a missing person, listening to a jazz musician’s haunting story with Peter Straub, or solving the mystery of the murder of an English headmaster in the hills above Bombay with H.R.F. Keating’s Inspector Ghote, you're already an accessory. Turn the pages and you're an accomplice. This more than generous helping of original crime stories will satisfy every kind of criminal appetite.
