A Decade of Classic Crime — Martin H. Greenberg

A Decade of Classic Crime: The New Edgar Winners is a new collection of the best short crime fiction of the last ten years. The list of Edgar winners reads like a roll of honour of mystery writers. Frederick Forsythe thrills us with his short story There Are No Snakes in Ireland. Ruth Rendell's psychological tale The New Girl Friend investigates the depths of the human condition. John Lutz's popular detective, Nudger, is the bloodhound in Ride the Lightning. Lawrence Block's private eye, Matthew Scudder, plays the murder game in By the Dawn's Early Light, and in Flicks, newcomer Bill Crenshaw brings on-screen violence to real life in a local movie house.
