Synopsis

Anger, jealousy, gluttony, sloth, lust, greed and pride. The Seven Deadly sins. Doesn't every major crime have one of these deadly sins at its root?

This volume selects two of them, lust and greed, as the inspiration for a selection of brand new stories, chosen and edited by internationally bestselling author Elizabeth George:

'All of the contributors have taken a different look at what constitutes lust and greed and at where submitting to the calls of these sins can lead a person. You'll find good guys, bad guys and in-between guys. You'll find mystery, mistakes, misunderstandings and murder, generated from the minds of a group of terrific women writers. In all cases, I hope you enjoy.'

An entertaining mixture of stories with a strong criminal element to them. Included in the collection are stories by some of the world's best female crime authors. (Canberra Times)
