"Good mystery anthology"
This fourteen-crime story collection consists of twelve
tales over twenty years old published in major magazines
though for the most part out of print. Each tale is unique
yet loaded with suspense that hooks the audience from the
onset as few short stories can, let alone an entire
anthology. In the Introduction, Jon L. Breen explains the
influence of Gardner, Woolrich, and especially Queen on the
writings of Francis M. Nevins. However, this reviewer
feels this master of crime thrillers loaded with deep
characters and plenty of action has his own style that will
thrill genre readers. Harriet Klausner
