Synopsis The Big Book of Rogues and Villains by : Otto Penzler
Edgar Award-winning editor Otto Penzler's new anthology brings together the most cunning, ruthless, and brilliant criminals in mystery fiction, for the biggest compendium of bad guys (and girls) ever assembled. The best mysteries--whether detective, historical, police procedural, cozy, or comedy--have one thing in common: a memorable perpetrator. For every Sherlock Holmes or Sam Spade in noble pursuit, there's a Count Dracula, a Lester Leith, or a Jimmy Valentine. These are the rogues and villains who haunt our imaginations--and who often have more in common with their heroic counterparts than we might expect. Now, for the first time ever, Otto Penzler gathers the iconic traitors, thieves, con men, sociopaths, and killers who have crept through the mystery canon over the past 150 years, captivating and horrifying readers in equal measure. The 72 handpicked stories in this collection introduce us to the most depraved of psyches, from iconic antiheroes like Maurice Leblanc's Arsène Lupin and Sax Rohmer's Dr. Fu Manchu to contemporary delinquents like Lawrence Block's Ehrengraf and Donald Westlake's Dortmunder, and include unforgettable tales by Robert Louis Stevenson, Bram Stoker, Washington Irving, Jack London, H.G. Wells, Sinclair Lewis, O. Henry, Edgar Wallace, Leslie Charteris, Erle Stanley Gardner, Edward D. Hoch, Max Allan Collins, Loren D. Estleman, and many more.

Synopsis The Complete Railway Mysteries by : Victor L. Whitechurch
Victor Lorenzo Whitechurch (1868-1933) was a Church of England clergyman and author. He is best known for his detective stories featuring Thorpe Hazell, the first amateur railway detective, whom the author intended to be as far from Sherlock Holmes as possible. Another Whitechurch's character was the spy Captain Ivan Koravitch. His stories were admired for their immaculate plotting and factual accuracy. Whitechurch was one of the first writers to submit his manuscripts to Scotland Yard for vetting as to police procedure.

Synopsis The Mystery Passenger by : Hans Broder, Jr.
The rain pounded on the roof of the Old No. 7 train like the devil trying to get in, a warning of the dangers ahead. It had been raining for most of June saturating the landscape and overflowing the streams. Lightning lit up the night sky as the locomotive confidently pushed forward from the McDonough Station toward Atlanta. No one saw the need to inspect the tracks to see if the re-enforced trestle was intact. Then the unimaginable happened on the evening of June 23, 1900, when the trestle over Camp Creek collapsed. And the fate of forty-eight passengers and crew would be changed forever. The catastrophe just north of McDonough was only one of the many train wrecks to claim innocent lives. "The Mystery Passenger" by Hans Broder explores multiple tragic tales in railroad history. His in-depth research follows not only the stories of the locomotives but the individuals whose lives were dramatically impacted by the turbulent events.
