Some of the top mystery writers of our time have collaborated on a nostalgic short story trip down Route 66. The sixteen tales occur during different time periods and at varying stops along America's first Federal Highway. Readers will be taken as far back as the 1920's to the present. Of interest is the fact that all the contributors live or have lived in towns along the fabled road.
Mystery readers who enjoy short stories, anyone who turns nostalgic over Route 66, or just wants to gain a feel of the pre-superhighway America will enjoy this collection. The tales vary in location and time, but they all contain a high quality not often seen throughout an entire anthology. Surprisingly several of the characters are fully developed, leading to deep story lines, thereby, making this book well worth the ride.
