Liza Cody 3rd Culprit
Worldwide Library 0373262124 / 9780373262120 PAPERBACK Very Good
0373262124 From Publishers Weekly n nThis third annual anthology from the Crime Writers' Association celebrates nothing but good crime writing. Most of the stories are original, but some are reprints from magazines-Ruth Rendell's 1980 A Needle for the Devil, for instance, which has a sadistic nurse fall under spells of love and knitting, much to the displeasure of her husband, who doesn't care for the sound of her clicking #14 needles. In a new story, Someone Got to Eddie, Scots author Ian Rankin abandons his Edinburgh copper John Rebus for a dark moment with an informer and the man who has come to end his squealing days. The Best of Breed award goes to Donald Westlake for his 1989 tale, Too Many Crooks, in which master thief Dortmunder tunnels into the back of a bank at the precise moment that other, less skilled criminals are in the front of the bank, negotiating a tense hostage situation with nervous cops; Dortmunder must perform some tricky improvisation to keep the loot. Also on hand are cartoons, a difficult acrostic and tales by Frances Fyfield, H.R.F. Keating and editor Lewin, among others. nCopyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. n--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. n n n From Library Journal n nThe annual anthology of the Crime Writers' Association contains more than 20 stories, several crime cartoons, and a cryptic crime acrostic. A good mixture of stories, many previously unpublished. nCopyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. n--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2290338214 Book Description nGlamour, cynique et survolté, un roman noir délirant d'un suspense total. Au rythme du rock et du blues, l'histoire d'une vengeance fulgurante dont le show-biz se souviendra. Blonde égérie londonienne des années soixante-dix, insolente de beauté, Birdie Walker a été la muse, l'amour de Jack, l'une des rock stars les plus adulées de son temps. Mais il disparaît en pleine gloire dans l'incendie de sa maison et Birdie reste seule face aux médias haineux qui la traitent en paria. Vingt-cinq ans plus tard, les nababs de l'industrie les mêmes à s'être autrefois repus de son couple - projettent d'exhumer l'idole. La reine déchue sait qu'elle tient enfin sa revanche. Ces prédateurs qui l'ont spoliée, Birdie leur réserve une ahurissante surprise. Elle les connaît tous et sait comment les appâter : dix inédits, un document rare sur Jack, voilà qui devrait faire sérieusement grimper les enchères ! Redoutable, elle s'apprête maintenant à jouer la partie de sa vie. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
