<DIV>Ever since the first caveman sketched out the bison hunts on the walls of the Lascaux caves 16000 years ago mankind has found a way to communicate. For centuries the letter was the primary form of communication across any distance. Kings popes lords heads of state scholars authors -- all used pen and paper to plot against one another gossip woo and win each other's hearts and play intricate games of intrigue.<P>In the 21 stories in Murder Most Postal all by masters of the mystery genre the mail takes center stage. Edgar Allan Poe is here with his classic detective tale of a letter gone astray and the cunning way in which it is retrieved. Lawrence Block tells of the correspondence between a death-row inmate and the brother of the woman he killed and of the deadly consequences for both. Ellery Queen investigates a puzzling philatelic theft. And Matt Costello writes of letters in cyberspace as a man pours out his heart to a stranger in a chat room in the last messages he will ever write.</DIV></div>
