Award-winning editor Otto Penzler presents a collection of short and sizzling masterpieces of kisses and kiss-offs, gams and gats, published for the first time anywhere. In &#8220;Third Party,&#8221; Jay McInerney takes you on a wild ride through the Paris night with a party girl built for speed and sin&#8230;&#8221;Rendezvous,&#8221; Nelson DeMille&#8217;s first short story in twenty-five years, plunges you into a Vietnam jungle where the bloodiest scourge of this man&#8217;s army is no man at all&#8230;back in the U.S.A. of &#8220;Louly and Pretty Boy,&#8221; Elmore Leonard introduces a Depression-era teenage gun moll who loves Pretty Boy Floyd more than she likes knocking off filling stations&#8230;and Michael Connelly&#8217;s colorful and ironic &#8220;Cielo Azul&#8221; shows how a nameless woman left dead on a Los Angeles hillside can be the most lethal prey of all. These and a bevy of other very bad girls cast their criminal spells through the powerful voices of Lorenzo Carcaterra, Joyce Carol Oates, John Connolly, Thomas H. Cook, Jeffery Deaver, J. A. Jance, Andrew Klavan, Laura Lippman, Ed McBain, Walter Mosley, Anne Perry, Ian Rankin, and S. J. Rozan in stories as irresistible as the antiheroines that blaze through their pages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mvqzid7i-3448fb2ca4eadfa52215c6d30ab50c59\">\n.avia-buttonrow-wrap.av-mvqzid7i-3448fb2ca4eadfa52215c6d30ab50c59 .avia-button{\npadding:15px 15px 15px 15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-buttonrow-wrap av-mvqzid7i-3448fb2ca4eadfa52215c6d30ab50c59 avia-buttonrow-left  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mvqzfin2-b7fd4dc776ace6c89e3ed27c82f6ef43\">\n#top #wrap_all .avia-button.av-mvqzfin2-b7fd4dc776ace6c89e3ed27c82f6ef43{\nmargin-bottom:5px;\nmargin-right:5px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<a href='http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0892960043\/nelsondemille-20'  class='avia-button av-mvqzfin2-b7fd4dc776ace6c89e3ed27c82f6ef43 avia-icon_select-no avia-size-small avia-color-theme-color'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"Buy Now\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Buy Now<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1682,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books","category-other-writing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
