Cover design by Vaughn Andrews. keywords: Mystery Anthology. DESCRIPTION - From the Editors' Note - A MATTER OF CRIME, VOLUME 1 launches a series… of original paperbacks comprising the best of contemporary mystery and suspense fiction. A MATTER OF CRIME is a product of its own time. No good writer - or editor - ignores literary tradition; few good writers - or editors are bound by it. While we admire the hardboiled fiction of the past half-century, we resist the inclination to extend past glories into the present. The contemporary writers who command our attention are those who write from the hardboiled tradition, not in imitation of it. Nor are we indifferent to the merits of other schools. Convincing characters and realistic plots; stories about people with believable motivations, confronted by compelling situations: That is the material of A MATTER OF CRIME. We restrict ourselves only to previously unpublished stories (and excerpts from works-in-progress) about crime - whether it be American or foreign, against individuals or against nations. In Dashiell Hammett's 'The Gutting of Couffignal,' the Continental Op describes The Lord of the Sea by M. P. Shiel: 'There were plots and counterplots, kidnappings, murders, prisonbreakings, forgeries and burglaries, diamonds large as hats and floating forts larger than Couffignal. It sounds dizzy here, but in the book it was real as a dime.' The proof is in the reading. We trust you will find these stories as real as a dime. inventory #11278.
