Описание: I first encountered Ruth Chessman's work when browsing back issues of Manhunt magazine–and I was immediately intrigued. Manhunt was a noir/hardboiled digest-sized mystery magazine, and female bylines were uncommon. A quick check showed that she also published stories in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine as well as a 1965 middle-grade novel called «Bound for Freedom,» which was adapted as a movie.<P> She must have instilled her love of crime writing in her family, since her daughter turns out to be none other than mystery writer Jane K. Cleland – who was kind enough to grant us permission to reprint her late mother's work. (Jane also supplied us with copies of hard-to-find stories.)<P> Ruth Chessman was a very good, if far too infrequent writer. This collection assembles most of her published short fiction. Included are:<P> ACCUSED<BR> THE SEARCH FOR A DEAD MAN'S BODY<BR> MURDER – EARLY AMERICAN<BR> POOR SHERM<BR> THE HARRINGTON FARTHING<BR> IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?<BR> THE PERFECT HUSBAND<BR> SILENTLY, SILENTLY<BR> THE CRIME THAT DID NOT FOLLOW<P> If you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for «Wildside Press Megapack» to see more of the 260+ volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction – and much, much more!
