The Perfect Addition to a Mystery Lover’s Collection
Crimes, capers, and mayhem abound when twenty-three New England writers turn their talents to the art of the short story. Along with traditional mystery shorts, this intriguing collection by notable and new authors includes comic misadventures, suspense-filled dramas, psychological thrillers, tales of danger and rescue, gritty detective stories, and stories of revenge and redemption––something for everyone. This colorful anthology, the fourth release from the independent publishing cooperative Level Best Books, presents new work by well-known New England mystery writers Roberta Isleib, Kate Flora, Leslie Wheeler, and Susan Oleksiw, as well as some exciting newcomers.
Seasmoke introduces an eclectic cast of characters––a young lawyer losing an important case, a gambler joining a high-stakes game, a lonely woman spending winter escapes on Nantucket, a fanciful young woman with Mrs. Wallis Simpson as her ideal, a detective who uses Feng Shui to catch a killer, and a woman stalked by a crazy pilot.
