For mystery novices there is: the history of the mystery from Poe to the present; a subject guide to mysteries; the ten most overrated mystery stories of all time; how to behave at a mystery writer's autograph party; lists of the Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winners who wrote mysteries.
For true crime buffs there are articles on every aspect of forensics, from dentistry to anthropology; confessions of hangmen and assistant DAs; tailing techniques of a private eye and memoirs of a house dick; visits to the barrister's wigmaker and to Scotland Yard's Black Museum; tours to mystery locations in New York and London.
Over 150 original, entertaining, and illustrated articles by eminent mystery writers, teachers, psychiatrists, scientists, ex-spies, and fans in totally unrelated fields make MURDER INK the last word about murder fiction.
