This mystery anthology contains eighteen short stories set in or written by authors from North Carolina. Besides Elizabeth Daniels Squire, this anthology includes many other well-known writers, such as O. Henry, Lilian Jackson Braun, Orson Scott Card, Margaret Maron, Michael Malone, and BarbaraNeely.
The stories in this collection are as diverse as the "detectives" they feature: the Native American policeman who solves his first case on the reservation; a Siamese cat with an intuitive affection for his paraplegic neighbor; an attentive convenience store owner; and a thirty-year-old computer whiz whose body stopped growing when he was nine. They solve crimes, locate treasures, and uncover deceit in a range of tales that reflects the breadth of the genre. With stories to delight mystery devotees and fans of all good writing, this anthology highlights one of the most vibrant and popular elements of North Carolina's literary legacy.
