2012 Edgar nominee John C. Boland's "Last Island South" was nominated by both the International Thriller Writers Association and the Private Eye Writers of America as "best short story" in 2009. Here are two dozen Boland stories from Alfred Hitchcock and Ellery Queen mystery magazines. . . . A lethal game for unhappy little boys . . . A playwright "editing" his cast . . . An old spy's daughter in Key West. Literate and chilling. ("Style, substance, and versatility"--EQMM. "An entertaining whodunit. Great fun!"--USA Today on EASY MONEY.
