A Hot and Sultry Night for Crime (Mystery Writers of America Presents: MWA Classics Book 1)

TEMPERS FLARE IN THE HEAT OF THE NGHTâ€¦

â€¦And the wrong move, the wrong word, even the wrong look can set off any man or woman already driven past their boiling point. A Hot and Sultry Night for Crime, edited by bestselling author Jeffery Deaver, features 20 stories of people not just the torrid weather, but all different kinds of heat. From a retired police chief pitching in on a missing dog report that leads to him solving a murder to a mystery of Southern manners that proves the heat brings out the worst in everybody to a Los Angeles gumshoe who goes to a movie to cool off, but finds a still-warm body inside the theater, these mystery stories all prove that when the temperature rises, anyone can go crazy from the heat, and the most cold-blooded crimes can be committed during the hottest, darkest nightsâ€¦

This volume contains the following award-winning or nominated stories: â€œLady on Iceâ€ by Loren D. Estleman, winner of the 2003 Shamus Award for Best Short Story; â€œGreen Heatâ€ by Angela Zeman, selected for The Best American Mystery Short Stories 2004, edited by Nelson DeMille and Otto Penzler; and â€œWar Crimesâ€ by G. Miki Hayden and â€œChild Supportâ€ by Ronnie Klaskin were both nominated for the Macavity Award for Best Short Story.
