A cornucopia of the best new whodunits, collected by one of the mystery scene's eminent editors, "a giant of the genre" (Lee Childs).

One of the best mystery books of the 21st century, this volume features outstanding new stories of crime, derring-do, fast-paced adventures, and puzzles, featuring hardy amateur detectives ranging from young to old and grizzled private eyes whose patches cover the city streets, all in the hallowed tradition of Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot, and Philip Marlowe.

Jakubowski's many anthologies, like The Book of Extraordinary Historical Mystery Stories, have attracted plenty of attention and awards. His newest collection, The Book of Extraordinary Amateur Sleuths and Private Eye Stories, features never-before-seen short fiction by some of the most renowned American and British crime and thriller authors of today. Whether the victim was done in at the party uptown or discovered in the other room of a particularly difficult woman or man, these mysteries will have you reading at the edge of your seat.

Praise for Maxim Jakubowski and His Books

"I have been a fan of Maxim Jakubowski for years. There just is no finer mystery writer and editor anywhere. Find a comfortable chair and a strong drink and prepare to be enthralled." -- Alexander Algren, author of Out in a Flash: Murder Mystery Flash Fiction

"Maxim Jakubowski is deeply experienced in the field... Sometimes a brief zap of great writing is just what you're in the mood for or have time for. That's when anthologies like his are ideal... intellectually outstanding." -- New York Journal of Books
