AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"In a bold effort to define the elusive boundaries of the mystery story, Donald E. Westlake scores an impressive victory on this highly-charged playing field....In addition to his six-page introductory premise, the curious brilliance of Westlake's anthology largely stems from a very personal pet peeve. The motivating gripe is his irritation with the ubiquitous literate professionals who routinely choose mysteries for relaxation or entertainment, but imply with this back-handed compliment that mysteries are a frivolity, inherently excluded from great, or important, literature."Westlake, Donald E. is the author of 'Murderous Schemes An Anthology of Classic Detective Stories', published 1998 under ISBN 9780195104875 and ISBN 0195104870.
