Thirteen previously released short stories that have been compiled into this one volume.

The Matt Cooper complete series consists of a total of 202 short stories to date. All the stories combined would make the file too large, so I broke the collection down into groups of 10 stories each.

Brand-new stories by: Daniel Woodrell, Matthew Eck, Catherine Browder, Nancy Pickard, John Lutz, J. Malcolm Garcia, Kevin Prufer, Linda Rodriguez, Nadia Pflaum, Phong Nguyen, Andres Rodriguez, and others. Kansas City: where East and West collide, where naked ambition meets broken dreams, where blues and the night go together like rye whiskey, vermouth, and bitters. Yes, Kansas City is a surprising place of grit, gore, and betrayal, at least in the imaginations of our diverse lineup of contributors.

From the introduction to Philadelphia Noir: "America's first great city, first capital, and first industrial metropolis contained from the beginning the mix of poor workers and elite culture, of ethnic enclaves and religious intolerance, of easy skullduggery and flesh-pot possibilities, that led Lincoln Steffens in 1903 to famously rule it 'corrupt and contented'."

Two previously released Cooper Mysteries plus two unrelated stories bundled into one collection. These are the stories included in this volume: "The Mother Goose Murders (Cooper)"; "Not On Your Life (Cooper)"; "Who?"; "Just What I've Always Wanted".

The Pickpocket Chronicles consists of the following short stories:

• 1). "Candy From a Baby" (Introduces our three pickpockets plying their trade at the Milwaukee Circus Parade).
• 2). "I Lean and Rob" (Pickpockets move north to Sheboygan to work the Bratwurst Day festival).
• 3). "California or Bust" (Pickpockets move to Hollywood and pick the wrong people to rob).

Old Wounds: A Nick Shelby Case and Other Crime Stories is a collection of 15 short crime stories from dark detective noir to domestic murder, crossing time periods as far back as the Victorian era and into the near future—some with a twist of horror, science fiction, or the supernatural. Each story revolves around intriguing characters with twists and turns and on occasion a sting in the tail.

This collection of the best crime and mystery short fiction of 1999, gathered from around the globe and including more award-winners and stories than any other comparable volume, fills the void for those with a hunger for the best international mystery and suspense stories.

L'immaginazione e la memoria storica di Pino Cacucci sono affollate di ribelli. Non sono necessariamente eroi a tutto tondo. Non hanno necessariamente il rigore ideologico di una dottrina o il vigore di una fede politica. Non sono necessariamente entrati nella fama che si trasforma in leggenda. Hanno però una caratteristica comune: incarnano in un gesto o in una vita intera l'insofferenza profonda per il conformismo e l'ingiustizia. Quelli di Pino Cacucci sono ribelli contro la loro stessa volontà e corrono incontro al destino con innamorata leggerezza.

In the quaint community of Poetry, Texas, Belinda Bauer spies an opportunity. The tiny town is filled with loggers and railroad men in need of wives, so she sets herself up as a marriage broker. At her invitation, potential brides begin to arrive in Poetry. Unfortunately, Belinda doesn't have a clue what she's doing and all the brides marry the wrong men! One client is particularly unhappy. George Kaufman, the local barber, has lost more than one prospective wife to Belinda's fumbled attempts. For some reason, she just can't seem to find George's "perfect match," though it's not for lack of trying. Is there a poetic ending in store for George, and for Belinda, herself?

Critically acclaimed author David Schickler made a splash with Kissing in Manhattan, a best-selling story collection that Booklist said is "magical" and "never ceases to amaze and impress".
