description: From Heinrich Böll's chilling tale of an unrecorded war crime, via classic crime stories such as William Faulkner's 'Smoke' and Ernest Hemingway's 'The Killers', to such distinguished 'jeux d'esprit' as T.S. Eliot's 'McCavity' (one of the pieces that inspired 'Cats') and G. B. Shaw's hilarious 'The Miraculous Revenge', 'Nobel Crimes' encompasses all kinds of crime and mystery stories. The writers, all of whom have won the Nobel Prize for Literature, are some of the most celebrated of our times, including - in addition to those named above - Albert Camus, Anatole France, Nadine Gordimer, Rudyard Kipling, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, John Steinbeck, and a host more.
