Riassunto

Beloved, best-selling author Tony Hillerman and mystery maven Otto Penzler have gathered 100 years' worth of peerless suspense tales into a volume every fan will cherish. In just three annual editions, THE BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES has established itself as a favorite among readers and as the fastest growing of all the Best American series. Now Penzler, BAMS series editor, and Tony Hillerman, whose Leaphorn/Chee novels have won him multiple Edgar Awards and millions of devotees, offer an unparalleled treasury of American suspense fiction. The editors winnowed these fifty-five selections out of a thousand stories, drawing on sources as diverse as ELLERY QUEEN'S MYSTERY MAGAZINE and ESQUIRE, COLLIER'S and THE NEW YORKER. Giants of the genre abound -- Raymond Chandler, Lawrence Block, Sue Grafton, Elmore Leonard, Sara Paretsky, and more -- but the editors also unearthed gems by luminaries rarely found in suspense anthologies: William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, Ring Lardner, Damon Runyon, James Thurber, and Joyce Carol Oates. Nowhere else can readers find a more thorough, more engaging, more essential distillation of American suspense.
