Golden Age Bibliomysteries

Beschreibung:

In this collection of Golden Age mysteries, crime strikes in the world of books...

'If much of the action is set in a bookshop or a library, it is a bibliomystery, just as it is if a major character is a bookseller or a librarian' - Otto Penzler

Of crime fiction's many sub-genres, none is as intriguing as the 'bibliomystery': stories that involve crimes set in the world of books.

This volume collects the finest of such stories. From the murder of a bookseller and the disappearance of a local author, to a killer stalking the shelves of the New York Public Library, these vintage mysteries show the enjoyable and unexpected ways in which crime writers have used the literary world as their theme.

Selected by Edgar-Award-winning anthologist Otto Penzler, this collection includes stories from household names such as Ellery Queen and Cornell Woolrich, as well as authors who are less well known today. These unforgettable mysteries are sure to entertain book lovers and crime fiction fans alike.
