The locked room murder genre has always been a challenge to crime mystery writers and thrives to this day all over the world and its success has never wavered. And many of the contemporary and past stars of the genres have, almost as a matter of principle, risen to the task brilliantly as it were a personal Everest. It has even birthed several TV series along the same principle including the recent BBC TV series Death in Paradise and Jonathan Creek.

Collected by one of the genre's eminent editors, Maxim Jakubowski, whose many anthologies have attracted large attraction and awards, this volume features never before seen stories by some of the most renowned American and British crime and thriller authors of today, including British Science Fiction Award winner Eric Brown, Derringer Award winner O'Neil de Noux, and multiple CWA Dagger Award winners and nominees
