Includes the winner of the
N.E. Crime Bake’s fifth Al Blanchard Short Fiction Award
Level Best Books anthologies are the only collections of stories dedicated to New England writers and their unique vision of crime and its aftermath. This year’s anthology continues the tradition of excellence in short fiction. Quarry is New England with ice storms, ice out, superettes and gun shows. Quarry is gritty streets and rutted roads, criminal ingenuity and personal integrity, madness and motherhood. And taking us on these journeys are writers who together have been nominated for or won all the major awards for crime fiction.
