About this product

Product Information

This second volume of Opening Shots is a collection of twenty-three first stories published by prominent mystery and crime writers. Some of these offerings are remarkably mature, professional work. Others are more obviously early works, before the writers' skills reached full maturity. But every one of them is a pleasure to read, and in each can be seen the seed of the writer's craft. Each writer has included an introduction worth the price of admission all by themselves, observes Block. Writers, it seems to me, are never more eloquent or more interesting that when they reminisce about their early days, and recalling one's first success seems a spur of anecdotage for most of us. Following on the heels of the successful first volume of this series, the stories in this stellar field include: Final Rites by Doug Allyn * Don't Kill a Karate Fighter by William Chambers * Entrapped by Harlan Coben * Yellow Gal by Michael Collins * Together by Jeffrey Deaver * The Rough Boys by Harlan Ellison * Tole My Cap'n by Joe Gores * Layover by Ed Gorman * A Bunch of Mumbo-Jumbo by Jan Grape * The Cure by David Handler * Till Tuesday by Jeremiah Healy * Village of the Dead by Edward D. Hoch * Chalk by Evan Hunter * It's a Wise Child Who Knows by Stuart Kaminsky * Who Killed Cock Robin? by H. R. F. Keating * Medford & Son by Dick Lochte * Thieves' Honor by John Lutz * Not All Brides Are Beautiful by Sharyn McCrumb * Manslaughter by Joyce Carol Oates * You Don't Know What It's Like by Bill Pronzini * The Disappearance of Penny by Robert J. Randisi * A Victim Must Be Found by Henry Slesar * Blue Rose by Peter Straub * A Bad Night For Burglars by Lawrence Block

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

Book arrived safely packaged in perfect order. Item as described, new. Thank you Rarewaves Outlet. Fascinating book, great addition to my collection. Great price. Would recommended this seller. No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
