A collection of twenty-three indelible stories—all never
before published—from today's top female crime writers and
some talented newcomers, selected by the New York
Times bestselling author
The seven deadly sins have been the roots of crime
throughout human history. In Two of the Deadliest,
Elizabeth George has gathered nearly two dozen tales that
probe the dark heart of crime in the name of a pair of
particularly wicked transgressions: lust and greed.
A young woman mistaken for someone else falls neatly into
what appears to be the perfect business opportunity, only to
learn that such luxury comes with a price. A mother is
driven to depths she never imagined by her
less-than-grateful son. And two lovers intent on profiting
from an unexpected inheritance discover that the most
valuable item is not at all what they thought it was.
In addition to stars including Laura Lippman, Susan
Wiggs, Marcia Muller, Carolyn Hart, Nancy Pickard, and
Elizabeth George herself, the collection also features new
writers from a broad range of backgrounds—journalists,
educators, and criminal experts. Together they explore the
dark depths women and men will sink to for passion, wealth,
and power.
Thrilling and unpredictable, these
stories of murder and mayhem are guaranteed to shock and
entertain.
