We’re delighted to present the contents list for our upcoming Crime anthology, Music of the Night, the second title in collaboration with the Crime Writers' Association (CWA)! Music of the Night will feature original short stories contributed by CWA members and edited by Martin Edwards, with music as the connecting theme. The aim, as always is to produce a book that is representative both of the genre and the membership of the world’s premier crime writing association.
The CWA has published anthologies of members’ stories in most years since 1956 with Martin Edwards as editor for over 25 years during which time the anthologies have yielded many award-winning and nominated stories by writers such as Ian Rankin, Reginald Hill, Lawrence Block, and Edward D. Hoch. The Annual Crime Writer's Association anthology is always a thrilling read, and eagerly anticipated by readers and authors of crime and mystery fiction worldwide.
