This collection of mysteries was much better than other anthologies I’ve read lately. Only one story was a dud, War Crimes by G. Miki Hayden, about a judge that had a dark past in a POW camp. Twist endings abound, many of which are truly surprising. Ninety-eight Point Six by Jeffery Deaver was the best of a good bunch, a tale about an escaped convict that keeps you guessing about the main character until the very end. The only bad thing about it was that it lead off the collection; I’d have put it at the end so the entire book acted as a crescendo. Regardless, good stuff here.
First Sentence from the Introduction:
What is there about heat and crime?
