All the Crime in the World: Locked Room Mysteries and Impossible Puzzles from Across the Globe
Edited by Gigi Pandian and Tom Mead
Can you solve the unsolvable?
A locked room. A murder with no possible method and no possible escape. The impossible crime is the purest puzzle in all of mystery fiction, and All the Crime in the World delivers fourteen of them, each one crafted by a different modern master of the form.
Editors Gigi Pandian and Tom Mead have assembled writers from around the world, each contributing an original, fully clued mystery designed to fool you fairly. The international lineup includes authors from Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, the UK, and the US.
Featuring stories by Victor Bonini, James Scott Byrnside, Shelly Dickson Carr, S.A. Cosby, Anne van Doorn, Martin Edwards, Sulari Gentill, Paul Halter, Christopher Huang, Vaseem Khan, Josh Pachter, Masaya Yamaguchi, Ovidia Yu, and a brand-new collaboration from the editors.
