Overview

"In this stellar collection, Robert J. Randisi has compiled the first short story - and in many cases, first-everappearances by some of the best-loved private eyes in detective fiction. Here is that rare glimpse into history, a tour down memory lane for many of today's most famous shamuses." "In all, there are fifteen stories with fifteen classic characters, battling crime on the meanest streets in America, and winning praise in the process. From Amos Walker to V. I. Warshawski, here is the A-to-Z guide to the best in detective fiction."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
