The Anatomy of Murder

A unique anthology for crime aficionados - seven of the world's most notorious genuine murder mysteries retold by the most accomplished classic crime writers of their generation. A manipulative murderer who stalked the streets of paris; a young wife who poisoned her eccentric husband; a bank cashier's mysterious suicide; a brutal double murder in new zealand... seven of the world's greatest crime writers turn their hand to some of the world's most spine-tingling mysteries - all of them astonishingly true. This remarkable collection from the archives of the detection club follows the floating admiral, ask a policeman and six against the yard back into print after more than 75 years, and shows some of the most accomplished authors of their generation retelling real-life murder mysteries with all the relish of the tastiest crime fiction.
