Detective Jimmy Delaney finds himself involved in yet another murder. He knows something smells in Barnstow, but can he use that to find the killer? Give it a listen and see how Jimmy sniffs out “The Scent of the Crime.” "The Scent of the Crime" is a speculative detective fiction, set slightly in the future; it's the fourth Detective Jimmy Delaney story. If you like a little self-deprecation and humor with some sci-fi elements thrown in (think "The Rockford Files" mashed up with the old BBC "The Avengers") this is the series for you.

The best mysteries 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.

Collected here are the second 3 stories in the Detective Jimmy Delaney series.
