Table of contents: title: A New Anthology of Crime Stories from Black Lizard; title: In Unusual Suspects, America's most acclaimed crime writers, along with some authors rarely associated with the genre, contribute fifteen new stories and two rediscovered classics to this riveting anthology.; title: James Lee Burke, author of the bestselling Dave Robicheaux mysteries, gives us a feverishly atmospheric tale of racism and moral courage on the Louisiana bayou. From the files of Jim Thompson, the godfather of American noir, comes the story of a murder with a victim so nasty we defy anyone to shed a tear far him. And Joyce Carol Oates shows us how a sudden brush with violence can turn a public servant into a public enemy. The result is a deliriously pulse-pounding collection that proves that although crime doesn't pay, it can help a good cause.; title: Contents:; title: Police Report / Jessica Auerbach; --; title: The Car in the Mexican Quarter / Jim Thompson; --; title: My Murder / David Corn; --; title: Christmas in Dodge City / Benjamin M.
