Murder and Other Acts of Literature

The stories of 24 fine crafters of crime fiction in this book will capture the attention of the most seasoned crime-story fan.

Penned by some of the best writers of past and present. Selections include Muriel Spark's The Portobello Road ; William Trevor's The Hotel of the Idle Moon ; Paul Theroux's The Johore Murders ; Isabel Allende's An Act of Vengeance ; Alice Walker's How Did I Get Away with Killing One of the Biggest Lawyers in the State? It Was Easy ; and many more.
