Playing Games
Lawrence Block, Elaine Kagan, Joe R. Lansdale, S. A.Cosby, Wallace Stroby, Warren Moore, Jeffery Deaver, David Morrell, Charles Ardai, Kevin Quigley, Robert Silverberg, Avri Klemer, Gar Anthony Haywood, Patricia Abbott, Jane Hamilton, Tod Goldberg
Whether it’s child’s play or for the highest stakes, whether we
stick to the rules or cheat, we all play games — for fun, for thrills,
for love or money, to prove we’re the best or make an opponent knuckle
under. And the games we play, with cards or dice or nothing but our
wits, reveal something deeply personal about the players.
In
this powerful new anthology, Mystery Writers of America Grandmaster
Lawrence Block has assembled an all-star team for the ultimate game
night. Sit down at the checkerboard with S.A. Cosby, assemble jigsaw
puzzles with David Morrell, or play marbles for the fate of the world
with Joe R. Lansdale. In Jeffery Deaver’s hands, an innocent game of
Candyland takes twists the Parker Brothers could never have imagined.
Science-fiction grandmaster Robert Silverberg uncovers painful truths
about destiny while betting on the turtle races in a Caribbean resort.
And Lawrence Block himself out-Hitchcocks Hitchcock with his classic
story of murder victims swapped by strangers on a handball court.
From
hide-and-seek to Russian roulette, from mahjong to Mouse Trap, it’s a
game lover’s dream — but beware: your turn is coming, and while winning
isn’t everything, sometimes losing can be deadly…
