Crime on the Move: The Official Crime Writers' Association Anthology

by Martin Edwards (editor)

Crime fiction and travel go together like Watson and Holmes, Poirot and Hastings, and Rebus and Edinburgh. Murder in and around trains, planes and automobiles has always been a rich source of inspiration for mystery writers and here the boundaries are extended to their widest. In this Official Anthology of the Crime Writers' Association, some of our finest mystery writers tackle the subject of Crime On The Move. Without doubt this is the mystery collection of this and most other years!
