From Publishers Weekly:

Drawing more than half their selections from Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Gorman and Greenberg offer a star-studded lineup of crime and mystery stories published in 2007 in their latest anthology. Among the highlights are Jeffery Deaver's Making Amends, which plays a deadly twist on a popular TV sitcom; Sandra Scoppettone's Everybody Loves Somebody, which will fool most readers; and Doug Allyn's Dead as a Dog, which pits a harried husband against a deadly hunter. Other notable entries include Loren D. Estleman's The Profane Angel, about Hollywood legend Carole Lombard, and Brendan DuBois's Country Manners, in which a rural New Hampshire PI gives the FBI a lesson. Jon L. Breen provides a critical overview of the year, while Sarah Weinman, who chose four online stories for the volume, supplies a brief survey of online mysteries. (June)
