[*An anthology of 16 novels and stories with an 17-page introduction by Macdonald written for this collection. 823 pages.
--An anthology of four complete novels, a novella, and 11 short stories by some of the best suspense writers ever.
--A pure detective story, according to Ross Macdonald, moves backward in search of explanation; a suspense story moves forward toward catastrophe. And for sheer enthralling suspense there has never been a collection to match this one - 4 complete novels, 11 stories and a novella -chosen and introduced by the master himself. NOVELS: Kenneth Fearing's breathtaking classic of power struggle, muder and manhunt in a great American magazine-publishing empire, THE BIG CLOCK. Agatha Christie at her quietly spellbinding best begins with a murder glimpsed from a passing train. WHAT MRS. McGILLICUDDY SAW!. Dick Francis' ENQUIRY is a stunning example of the galloping excitement and the shart observation of English life (and class snobbery) that has won popular and critical success on both sides of the Atlantic. Ross MacDonald has selected from his own marvelous Lew Archer novels, THE FAR SIDE OF THE DOLLAR, which begins with an apparent kidnapping and moves both backward through tangled family lives and forward into danger and resolution.
--Nine-page introduction by MacDonald. Prints four complete novels by Dick Francis, Kenneth Fearing, Agatha Christie, and MacDonald's own "The Far Side of the Dollar," together with stories by Greene, Gilbert, Collier, and Cheever. Included are the novel, The Big Clock, by Kenneth Fearing, a bibliomystery set within the community of a large publisher where a young woman is murdered and her killer is a member of the publishing company. Also there is a short story The Terrapin, by Patricia Highsmith, in which a young boy, because of his mis-deeds, is required to memorize poetry by his mother, who is an illustrator of children's books. His concern for a terrapin brought home for soup leads to tragic circumstances. The Comforts of Home by Flannery O'Connor, tells us of a man who writes history for a living and is president of his local Historical Society. His problem is his mother, with whom he lives, and her strange passion for befriending wayward girls and bringing them home. Thomas hates this and finally finds a way in which to cope---but the solution is fatal. A splendid selection of stories that includes four novels, one novella by Robert Louis Stevenson, and eleven short stories by Dashiell Hammett, Roald Dahl, Margaret Millar, Stanley Ellin, and James M. Cain. ]
