The 13th Letter

Description

M is for Mesdames, Messieurs, mystery…and murder! M is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet, and it begins so many wicked words: malice, Machiavelli, mayhem and of course, murder. But it also heads up mischief, melody and madcap mystery. And what could better suit the M esdames and M essieurs of M ayhem ? After all, thirteen is our lucky number! Welcome to our sixth anthology, a book of 22 deviously crafted tales based on each author’s twisted take on the letter “M” or literally, a thirteenth letter. Most stories are light-hearted to counter our troubled times but a few do shade into the dark. Enjoy them all and remember: The Mesdames and Messieurs of Mayhem is a collective of established Canadian crime fiction authors and talented new writers of the genre.
