Murder Most Postal

Description

Homicidal Tales that Deliver a Message Special Delivery indeed! This collection of twenty-one stories by masters of mystery--including Evan Hunter, Ellery Queen, Gordon R. Dickson, and more--is about purloined postage, lethal letters, and cold-blooded correspondence. From Edgar Allan Poe's nineteenth-century classic "The Purloined Letter," which tells of a missive gone astray and cunning way in which it is retrieved, to Matthew Costello's very twenty-first-century chat-room intrigue, "Someone Who Understands Me," these tales are first-class examples of just how dangerous getting in touch can be.
