To unmask a hidden killer? To bring justice to a long-forgotten victim? In The Blue Religion, a dazzling lineup of the best crime writers working today reveal the thrills and dangers of being a cop. Bestselling author Michael Connelly, hailed as a master whose "understanding of how cops work and think remains unsurpassed" (Washington Post), presents a new Harry Bosch case and eighteen more original stories from members of the Mystery Writers of America. Filled to the brim with gripping showdowns, these tales go beyond the exhilaration of the chase to show the true burden of the badge. They examine the lives of lawmen and -women who decorate their office desks not with photos of family and friends but with pictures of victims whose killers they still hunt. In T. Jefferson Parker's "Skinhead Central," an ex-cop and his wife find unexpected menace in the idyllic setting they have chosen for their retirement. In Alafair Burke's "Winning," a female officer who is attacked in the line of duty must protect her own husband from his worst impulses. In Michael Connelly's "Father's Day," Harry Bosch faces one of his most emotionally trying cases as he investigates the death of a young boy. These hard-hitting stories - including tales by John L. Breen, Laurie L. King, Peter Robinson, Paula L. Woods, and others - trace the fears and triumphs of those who put themselves in harm's way to face down the bad guys. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Since its inception in 1915, the Best American series has become the premier annual showcase for the country's finest short fiction and nonfiction.

That selection is pared down to twenty or so very best pieces by a guest editor who is widely recognized as a leading writer in his or her field. This unique system has helped make the Best American series the most respected - and most popular - of its kind. Edgar Award winner Michael Connelly has chosen a collection of stellar stories by the genre's luminaries and by the most promising newer talents in the field.
