City of Crime
City of Crime includes a rich variety of new crime stories
from established authors and new talents. Unusually the collection includes a mixture of
genre writers and literary authors. You'll get to know ordinary people caught up in awful
events. You'll meet murderers, sexual obsessives and police officers under pressure.
You'll consort with poisoners, prostitutes, loan sharks and petty thieves. And, just when
you least expect it, you might discover a little humour, too.
