520 _aSince its inception in 1915, the Best American series has become the premier annual showcase for the country's finest short fiction and nonfiction. For each volume, a series editor reads pieces from hundreds of periodicals, then selects between fifty and a hundred outstanding works. That selection is pared down to twenty or so very best pieces by a guest editor who is widely recognized as a leading writer in his or her field. This unique system has helped make the Best American series the most respected -- and most popular -- of its kind.
520 8 _aThis seventh installment of the premier mystery anthology boasts pulse-quickening stories from all reaches of the genre. Michael Connelly's choices include a Prohibition-era tale of a scorned lover's revenge, a Sherlock Holmes-inspired mystery solved by an actor playing the famous detective onstage, and a tale of murder by psychology. This year's edition features mystery favorites as well as talented up-and-comers, for a diverse collection sure to thrill all readers.
