Among the first-rate short mysteries in this collection,
the brand-new "Garden of Eden" and "Open House" feature
the famous sleuthing duo Peter Decker and Rina
Lazarus. "Bull's-Eye" introduced Cindy Decker to the crime-
fiction world, and "Mr. Barton's Head Case" appears here
for the very first time in English. In addition, two rare
personal essays allow readers glimpses into Kellerman's
private life, revealing her true grit in "Small Miracles"
and childhood memories of working in her father's deli in
the exquisite "Summer of My Womanhood."
Compiled at last in one volume, the seventeen pieces in
this book feature new introductions by the author and
contribute to a unique, compelling portrait of one of
America's top masters of suspense. A must-have collection
for all mystery fans, THE GARDEN OF EDEN AND OTHER
CRIMINAL DELIGHTS showcases how ordinary everyday
experiences can be the genesis of extraordinary tales that
unveil the darkest sins and secrets of the human heart.
