Past Crime

Laws change from culture to culture, decade to decade. Strange laws make criminals of ordinary citizens. Like the Massachusetts woman whose brother asks her for help, slave hunters at his heels. Or the Chinese immigrant who finds himself in the middle of a crooked game of Fan Tan. Or the Native American detective searching New York's Stonewall Bar for a ratfink on the night of a world-changing riot. These stories and more prove that once again, Fiction River's crime volumes have, in the words of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, "high quality throughout."

Edited by: Kristine Kathryn Rusch. Original stories by: Dory Crowe, Leah Cutter, Jamie McNabb, Dean Wesley Smith, Lee Allred, Richard Quarry, Lisa Silverthorne, Cat Rambo, Kris Nelscott, M. Elizabeth Castle, Michele Lang, and JC Andrijeski.

Hidden in Crime

Imagine paying a fine for walking across town. Or hiding an illegal marriage. Or losing your life for playing the harp. Strange crimes, dangerous activities, some from the not-so-distant past, return to life in Hidden in Crime. See why Publishers Weekly states "… fans of the unconventional will be well satisfied." Join some of the best authors in the business as they uncover once-hidden crimes.
