Le Bal du Cosmos

A VERY SPECIAL MYSTERY ANTHOLOGY FEATURING THE BEST BY THE BEST.In 1984, Mystery Writers of America brought together a roster of authors that has rarely been equaled before or since. Every living MWA President (including several who were also Grand Masters) was asked to select one of their own published stories and write a brief introduction as to why it was their favorite one. The resulting volume, edited under the keen eye of author and screenwriter Brian Garfield, contains some of the finest crime and mystery stories of the previous 50 years. Dorothy Salisbury Davis delights with tale of a most unusual art "heist." Master of the macabre Robert Bloch is in fine form with a story of a con man who takes advantage of lonely women, until he meets his match in deception. Helen McCloy goes to the other side of the world for her engrossing story of 19th century China. John D. MacDonald introduces us to a salesman suffering from the wickedest of hangovers, and bestselling French author Georges Simenon tells a cat-and-mouse tale between a mild-mannered tailor and the serial killer he believes is living across the street from him. Thirteen masterful tales of mystery and suspense, selected by the people who know them best-the authors themselves.

The Crime of My Life - Mystery Writers of America Presents: Classics, #8

To ever-loyal Kirby Winter, multimillionaire Uncle Omar left nothing -- nothing but a gold watch and a sealed letter to be opened in one year. But Kirby is destined to inherit the magical power to freeze time in its tracks. Power like that promises unlimited wealth, wealth that can't buy love, but does make a down payment on a lot of deadly trouble. In a universe without time, can Kirby stay one step ahead?

Dan et sa famille, comme tous les villageois, ne craignent que deux choses : la Peste et les Hommogres, ces monstres qui volent dans les airs et emportent les humains dans leur repaire, derrière les Terres Mortes...
Une nuit, Josué, un étrange chasseur vient demander asile à la famille de Dan. Peu après la Peste se déclare dans la région voisine et Dan accompagne sa cousine Liza, la rebouteuse, pour apprendre son art. Mais Liza est enlevée par les Hommogres. Josué et Dan partent à sa recherche vers le château des Hommogres d'où nul n'est jamais revenu...

La nuit des Hommogres

Un couple idéalement heureux, aurait-on dit. Sauf que lorsque leur yacht explosa, le mari n'était pas à bord. Disparu, le tendre époux, et avec l'argent de sa bien-aimée. De là à penser qu'il n'en était pas à son coup d'essai... Il ne s'agissait plus que de le retrouver, ce qui fut malaisé et... dangereux.

Le crime présente la note

In this swift and striking novel, John D. MacDonald examines the ferment of a big-time convention -- the plots, the savage maneuverings, the dreadful ease with which a man or a dream can be destroyed.
