So you think you’d know a murderer if you saw one.Prepare yourself for a challenge. 100 Menacing Little Murder Stories spans the century to provide a police lineup of some of the most devious death-dealers in all of crime fiction. Top authors, including Joyce Carol Oates, Joe R. Lansdale, Bill Pronzini, Hugh B. Cave, and Henry Slesar, write the rap sheet on these killer criminals. Some leave an incriminating trail of bloody footprints; others are unrecognizable but for the hardware in their hands and the dark intent in their hearts.Includes the following 100 stories:40 DETECTIVES LATER—Henry Slesar600 W—Basil WellsACTION—David J.
