The Detection Club has always counted the crème de la crème of
crime fiction within its ranks; previous presidents have included Agatha
Christie, Dorothy L Sayers, GK Chesterton and, of course, the venerable HRF
Keating. Now, in honour of his eightieth birthday, Keating's fellow
Detection Club members and the leading lights of contemporary crime fiction
serve up a selection of tantalising conundrums.
Take the phone off the hook, draw the curtains closed and snuggle up on the
sofa, ready to enjoy the wickedly wonderful short-story birthday presents
on offer from some of Britain's best loved crime writers. The contributing
authors include Len Deighton, Reginald Hill, Colin Dexter, PD James, Simon
Brett and Liza Cody, and with Dick Francis penning the foreword and Peter
Lovesey putting the collection together, there is sure to be something to
delight all crime fans. -- Inside Flap of book
