This anthology of original new short stories by the members of The Detection Club follows a time-honoured tradition of this venerable institution. The book is published by Severn House, in honour of Simon Brett's 80th birthday, and edited by Martin Edwards.

Simon Brett himself has contributed a new Charles Paris story. There is also a previously unpublished story by Christopher Fowler, who died in 2023.

The full list of contributors speaks for itself, and they bring us a really eclectic and interesting set of short stories - something any fan of mystery and detective fiction will treasure:
