In this second memorial anthology, the first being Past Poisons published in December 2005, more leading British and American crime writers have contributed new stories, with a breath–taking range of settings and sleuths, guaranteed to appeal to every fan of historical and modern crime.
Chronicles of Crime depicts colorful tales of puzzlement and adventure. Each story is planted in an historical setting, and the sheer time span and scale of geographical locations conjured up by each writer's imagination is astounding. They range from Ancient Egypt and Rome to suffragette times, with a nod in passing to gothic horror, westerns, and amazing variations on known themes and dastardly deeds.
Selections include the writings of H.R.F. Keating, Eric Mayer, Ian Rankin, Ed Gorman, Jonathan Gash, M.J. Trow, and Peter Tremayne.
