From the Back Cover:
From parlor-game puzzle to political thriller, from Agatha Christie and Dashiell Hammett to John le Carré and Sue Grafton, the most talked-about and bestselling books are often mysteries. The reason? The enduring appeal of the unknown, and readers’ insatiable desire to discover who committed the crime, and why.
About the Author:
