The Toronto Chapter of Sisters in Crime is celebrating its twentieth anniversary with this anthology of twenty stories penned by fifteen Canadian Crime writers. Selected by a blind judging process, the stories are cozy and noir, humorous and poignant, historical and current. There are amateur sleuths and professionalsÐcops, private detectives and one or two you wonÕt see coming. The protagonists are women, men and children. The settings are varied too, within Canada, the U.S., the United Kingdom, Vietnam and an unnamed exotic locale. These authors are young and young at heartÐestablished authors and those who are being published for the first time. And while most are female, there is also one male author in this collection.
