Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Killer Year is a group of 13 debut crime/mystery/suspense authors whose books will be published in 2007. The graduating class includes such rising stars as Robert Gregory Browne, Toni McGee Causey, Marcus Sakey, Derek Nikitas, Marc Lecard, JT Ellison, Brett Battles, Jason Pinter, Bill Cameron, Sean Chercover, Patry Francis, Gregg Olsen, and David White. Each of the short stories displaying their talents are introduced by their Killer Year mentors, some of which include bestselling authors Lee Child, Tess Gerritsen and Jeffrey Deaver, with additional stories by Ken Bruen, Allison Brennan and Duane Swierczynski. Bestselling authors Laura Lippman and MJ Rose contribute insightful essays. Inside you'll read about a small time crook in over his head, a story told backwards with a heroine not to be messed with, a tale of boys and the trouble they will get into over a girl, and many more stories of the highest caliber in murder, mayhem, and sheer entertainment. This amazing anthology, edited by the grandmaster Lee Child, is sure to garner lots of attention and keep readers coming back for more. Review:"Who doesn't like a good treasure hunt? Who doesn't like discovering new talent on the rise? Both will be found within the covers of Killer Year." James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of Map of Bones and The Judas Strain Review:"The mentors' introductions to these stories, plus brief biographies at the end, should entice readers to longer works by these promising new authors....[W]ell worth a look." Library Journal Review:"Gems come from the 13 [Killer Year] members.... Remarkably for a collection this ample, there's no sign of a clinker."
