A New Omnibus of Crime

In 1929 Dorothy L. Sayers published her landmark anthology The Omnibus of Crime. More recently Tony Hillerman and Rosemary Herbert decided it was time to produce a definitive new anthology representing the best of the genre since then - the critically acclaimed A New Omnibus of Crime. This extraordinary collection emphasizes the most exciting styles and voices in each genre rather than taking a typical decade-by-decade approach. As a result A New Omnibus of Crime boasts a broad range of engaging page-turning and spine-tingling selections from the past eight decades. Stories in this collection include Patricia Highsmith''s Woodrow Wilson''s Necktie Sue Grafton''s A Poison That Leaves No Trace Alexander McCall Smith''s He Loved to Go for Drives with His Father and many more. A New Omnibus of Crime is a marvelous achievement that brings together some of the greatest crime and mystery short fiction ever collected.
