This is the best kind of anthology, consistently excellent and inventive." -<em>Publishers Weekly, </em>starred review</strong><br /><br /><strong>The latest Mystery Writers of America story collection, featuring surprising, page-turning twists on the genre<strong> </strong>from some of the top bestsellers and award winners in crime fiction</strong><br /><br />It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories--a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water.<br /><br />No matter how or where they appear, strangers are walking mysteries, complete unknowns in once-familiar territories who disrupt our lives with unease and wonder. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers such as Michael Connelly, Dean Koontz and Joe Hill.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This is the best kind of anthology, consistently excellent and inventive." <strong>-<em>Publishers Weekly</em>, starred review</strong> <p/>This collection offers the best of both worlds: expert storycraft from genre stars (Unger, Michael Connelly, and Steve Hamilton, among them) and standout entries from some new faces in crime fiction." -<em><strong>Booklist</strong></em> <p/>"This anthology... is packed with enough secrets, sinister plots and mystery to entice any lover of the genre."<em><strong> -AARP</strong></em> <p/>"Even with [Mystery Writers of America's] stellar reputation, WHEN A STRANGER COMES TO TOWN is special....
