Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Peter Lovesey presents a collection of short fiction spanning fifty years, including the first story he ever published and three brand-new stories.
And surprising the author himself, the irascible Bath detective, Peter Diamond, bulldozed his way into this volume..
The collection includes the career-launching story, as well as three never-before-published works.
On the occasion of his hundredth short story, Peter Lovesey has assembled this devilishly clever collection, eighteen yarns of mystery, melancholy, and mischief, inhabiting such deadly settings as a theater, a monastery, and the book publishing industry.
That short story caught the eye of the great Ruth Rendell, whose praise ignited Lovesey\'s lifelong passion for short form crime fiction.
More than fifty years ago, Peter Lovesey published a short story in an anthology.
