Visit the streets of Los Angeles, glitzy Las Vegas, the Arizona desert and Texas panhandle; the Louisiana Bayou, Florida Keys, Smoky Mountains and snowy New England. Peek inside a Chicago museum, a Portland candy factory and a California prison. Includes stories by Kris Neri, Connie Flynn, Simon Wood, Beth Groundwater and eighteen other talented writers.

About this title

Review

"Great anthology These twenty new short stories are delightful murder mysteries or suspense thrillers that take place in different American locations though most are west of the Mississippi. The contributions are well written as each author providing a fine tale with some like The Ideal Wife and The Mystery of the Fire Opal Mine containing Twilight Zone twists. The anthology is especially entertaining when the suspense is high as when a Las Vegas showgirl kicks the winning field goal of her life into a cement mix, a Chicago construction crew locates bones on a homeowner s site, the dysfunctional relationship between a grandfather and his grandson, or what a teacher finds in a Lancaster County, Pennsylvania dumpster. Wherever MAP OF MURDER takes the audience, one thing consistently occurs: readers will obtain immense pleasure from this well written compilation." --Harriet Klausner
