Synopsis

The novella has always held a hallowed place in literature, and nowhere is that more true than in the mystery field.

Now, Ed Gorman and Martin H. Greenberg are proud to present some of the finest crime and suspense novellas and novelettes from 2004, each from an acclaimed author in the field. From a literary mystery based on one of the most famous novels in the world by worldwide-bestseller Anne Perry to a nail-biting prison break from master storyteller Clark Howard, these insightful stories represent the best of the mystery novella in 2004.
