Ed McBain may have left this world, but his works are likely to be enjoyed by generations. And the works keep on coming.
Following his final 87th Precinct novel, FIDDLERS, and next month’s Hard Case Crime offering, THE GUTTER AND THE GRAVE, Harcourt will release a short-fiction collection called LEARNING TO KILL: STORIES.
LEARNING TO KILL will feature 25 stories McBain wrote under his real name (Evan Hunter) and two pseudonyms (Richard Marsten and Hunt Collins). Twenty of them made their debut in the pulp mag MANHUNT. Given that, you can expect 25 stories of P.I.s, cops, crooks and other players in the crime trade. McBain introduces each story. The collection his stores July 3, 2006, but you can pre-order it now.
