CODY, LIZA & MICHAEL Z. LEWIN [EDITED 2ND CULPRIT - AN ANNUAL OF CRIME STORIES.
1993 CODY, LIZA & MICHAEL Z. LEWIN [EDITED BY]. 2ND CULPRIT - AN ANNUAL OF CRIME STORIES. London: Chatto & Windus, [1993]. First edition. Fine in dust jacket. A collection of 23 stories ... all but three of them have never been published before. "Peter Lovesey evokes the spirit of Baker Street as some English criminal types enlist an eccentric hacker to do battle with Scotland Yard's new computer, and events become distinctly ghostly and Holmesian. Margaret Yorke follows an unhappy couple on vacation: although both husband and wife hatch plans to end their unhappiness, the wishes of only one approach realization. In Reginald Hill's "True Thomas," a bitter copper tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing but for 24 hours--with comic, chaotic results. Tony Hillerman's contribution is an unexpected piece: a somber study of death in which a killer goes to the gas chamber and a reporter struggles with words and deadlines." A wonderful collection.
