Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Ross MacDonald, creator of arguably the greatest series of mystery-detective stories of the 20th century featuring California private detective, Lew Archer, believed that while detective stories move backward, searching for a solution, suspense stories moved forward toward catastrophe. However, he rightly included one of his Lew Archer novels, "The Far Side of the Dollar," in this extra large anthology of suspense, which also includes novels by Kenneth Fearing, Agatha Chiristie and Dick Francis as well as short fiction by Greene, Hammett, Cain, Ellin, Gilbert, Highsmith and Millar. Also, surprises by Cheever, Robert Louis Stevenson and Flannery O'Conner, with an introduction by MacDonald that lays out the history of two centuries of suspense. This copy is from the Book Club Edition, issued in 1993. 6 1/4 x 9 1/4 inches, 823 pages, plus notes about the editior and the type face, in black cloth-covered boards with silver lettering on spine.
