Synopsis
Since the golden age of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers, British mystery-writers have captivated readers all over the world. Now, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, British mysteries are more popular than ever. This collection brings together the most spine-tingling, page-turning stories by Britain’s greatest exponents of the genre. Every mystery-lover will relish Ian Rankin’s gripping Rebus mystery (Tell Me Who to Kill); Reginald Hill’s new Dalziel and Pascoe story (The Game of Dog); an exclusive new adventure for John Mortimer’s loveable Rumpole of the Bailey (Rumpole and the Scales of Justice); and a long-awaited, one-off return from Colin Dexter (The Double Crossing). With new stories from bestselling writers Val McDermid, Mark Billingham, Lindsey Davis and Peter Robinson, and exclusive stories from some of Britain’s most exciting up-and-coming young crime-writers, this bumper collection is a devilishly good read - and the perfect gift for any mystery-lover.
