The title says it all. Twelve writers at the top of their form in these stories. All have fine novels out there and they’ve joined together in this new, evolving publishing medium of e-books, as Top Suspense Group to present their books to the public. I like this idea as some writers here I’m not as familiar with will soon be on my virtual TBR pile(I hope that’s an accurate description).
The stories and authors in the set are listed below.
1: Unreasonable Doubt – Max Allan Collins
2: Death’s Brother – Bill Crider
3: Poisoned – Stephen Gallagher
4: Remaindered – Lee Goldberg
5: Fire In The Sky -Joel Goldman
6: The Baby Store – Ed Gorman
7: The Jade Elephant -Libby Fischer Hellmann
8: The Big O – Vicki Hendricks
9: The Chirashi Covenant – Naomi Hirahara
10: El Valiente en el Infierno – Paul Levine
11: A Handful of Dust – Harry Shannon
12: The Canary – Dave Zeltserman
13: The Chase – Top Suspense Group
The Collins is a short story featuring Nathan Heller, his P.I. character that constantly gets involved with real historical characters. Lee Goldberg’s Remaindered I’d read, but it’s a great story(and has been made into a short film). The others were all new, but each surprised me. Good stuff here. The final story, The Chase, is a round robin where each author writes about 250 words, then passes it to the next in line, who takes off from what came before. It passed through each one about twice until the story came to an end. It worked well and made a worthy story to add to the other fine tales. Not a dud in the bunch.
Should be on your list. It’s available on AMAZON HERE.
I hope to read it. Dave Zeltserman and Lee Goldberg have given me a fair bit of reading pleasure over the last couple of years and Miami Purity is a gem. I look forward to it all.
Now I’m probably going to have to get some sort of e-reader sooner rather than later, dammit!
I’ve almost read the entire collection and everyone a winner thus far. “The Baby Store” is my favorite but that is probably because I’m new to fatherhood. Chilling is the word for that Gorman story.
The Baby Store was a chiller alright, David< i thought I knew where he was headed and got fooled. Which is good.
a heckuva lineup there. Looks good.
