Mystery Writers of America Presents Death Do Us Part: New Stories about Love, Lust, and Murder

Product Description<br/><br/><br/>From the Civil War–era south to 1950s New York to the present day's gritty cities and seemingly innocuous suburbs, the eighteen stories in this anthology edited by the award-winning mystery writer Harlan Coben chart the complications—always surprising, sometimes deadly—that arise between lovers, dear friends, and even complete strangers coming together for a single, shocking encounter. In Lee Child's "Safe Enough," a blue-collar city boy takes up with a wealthy suburban wife, with dire consequences. In Harlan Coben's "Entrapped," a woman's husband disappears and is replaced by a handsome impostor. In Laura Lippman's "One True Love," a high-end prostitute seeks a radical solution to a public relations problem. And in P. J. Parrish's "One Shot," a man returns to his childhood home to learn the truth about a long-ago tragedy. Other contributors of original stories include Ridley Pearson, R. L. Stine, Jim Fusilli, Jeff Abbott, Charles Todd, and Tom Savage.<br/><br/><br/>Review<br/><br/><br/>"Mystery fans will find much to enjoy, and it's nice to see what authors known for their novels can do with short stories."-- "Booklist"<br/><br/><br/>"The narrators do a superb job, whether it's getting into the persona of a federal agent...or a hysterical wife...or re-creating a tense father-son situation."-- "AudioFile"<br/><br/>The narrators do a superb job, whether it's getting into the persona of a federal agent...or a hysterical wife...or re-creating a tense father-son situation.-- "AudioFile"<br/><br/><br/>About the Author<br/><br/><br/>Harlan Coben is the internationally bestselling author of more than twenty novels, including nine novels that have made the #1 New York Times bestsellers list.
