Tired of fending off street thugs and worried about the day they can no longer take care of themselves, three elderly widows, Josie, Mabel and Mil, concoct the perfect plan for ensuring their safety, which will also guarantee them free room and board for life. As grocery bag-covered bodies begin turning up in Southern California, police and the media are stumped. Detectives assigned to the case, Paige Turner and Mark Wisneski, wonder what weird new serial killer is on the loose. The victims are mostly drug addicts and small-time crooks, but why the grocery bags? The bodies pile up until the widows invite Turner and Wisneski to tea, where they tell all. What they reveal shocks the world and could lead to the widows' master plan seriously backfiring. Life on the streets and in prison will never be the same.

Within the formulas of crime fiction, this collection ranges from writers Daphne du Maurier and Margery Allingham, whose names are synonymous with conventional subgenres of crime fiction, through Patricia Highsmith, and Shirley Jackson, who deliberately set conventions aside or who moved those conventions into other realms. Most important, perhaps, Jackson, Highsmith and E. X. Ferrars depict civilizations that are not essentially orderly, that are not founded upon a commonly understood concept of justice--where one must make her own order.

For the first time in one place, Roger M. Sobin has compiled a list of nominees and award winners of virtually every mystery award ever presented. He has also included many of the “best of” lists by more than fifty of the most important contributors to the genre.; Mr. Sobin spent more than two decades gathering the data and lists in this volume, much of that time he used to recheck the accuracy of the material he had collected. Several of the “best of” lists appear here for the first time in book form. Several others have been unavailable for a number of years.; Of special note, are Anthony Boucher’s “Best Picks for the Year.” Boucher, one of the major mystery reviewers of all time, reviewed for The San Francisco Chronicle, Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, and The New York Times. From these resources Mr. Sobin created “Boucher’s Best” and “Important Lists to Consider,” lists that provide insight into important writing in the field from 1942 through Boucher’s death in 1968.? This is a great resource for all mystery readers and collectors.; ; Winner of the 2008 Macavity Awards for Best Mystery Nonfiction.

Of course he is, but he proclaims his innocence. He has been sleeping with a Registered Nurse who happens to be the floor supervisor where the Student Nurses are assigned for training. She decides to enroll these Students into a Black Supremacy Political Action Committee. She had also tried to form such a committee while in College but there were not enough black students. Therefore, now that she had more black students. She was more successful. And, she began to brainwash them with subtle lies. Unfortunately they listened and began to believe her lies. This led to the horrible blood bath in the Ladies room at the Old State House and the removal of Allison's Baby. It now became Harry Smith's job to solve the murder. In the end the Supervisor is found guilty of the murder as well as causing Juveniles to commit Capital Felonry Murder. She receives the Death Sentence and is executed. Now! The wicked witch of the East is dead. Her Young Students are absolved of the crime. The little Student who killed Annie the Bag Lady is also absolved of her crime and everything ends but, not until Harry and Sharon having a Binge Party.
