Crossing Borders

This splendid collection of border fiction is haunting and intense. Bravo to San Diego Sisters in Crime. --T. Jefferson Parker Edgar Award-winning author of The Last Good Guy Good stories start with characters crossing borders and finding themselves in worlds filled with hurt harm and danger. In Crossing Borders the first anthology from Partners in Crime the San Diego Chapter of Sisters in Crime fifteen stories capture moments before during and after characters cross borders and find themselves stumbling around strange lands that abound with saints sinners and monsters. Crossing Borders explores that liminal space--the place where people cross from not just from one place to another like national boundaries but the dividing line between life/death stability/insanity or innocence/guilt. This anthology contains stories that look at the duality of our lives as we cross borders between people values and beliefs. Join us as we explore crossings where a character involved somehow in a crime must pass over a border literally or figuratively. As Rachel Howzell Hall says in our foreword: Be prepared to hold your breath as we enter that special space of crossing transitioning change and death. Welcome to the border.
