Short stories from a variety of authors including Ian Rankin and Lindsey Davis (both of whom I've read before and like) and Reginald Hill (Dalziel and Pascoe, I'd not read any of his before but liked this). The one that particularly stuck in my mind was one that I will have to find the info for and update later, but it was really quite chilling. These were a good mixture of murder, not-quite-murder and just plain mysterious, which was good. 100% murder would have been irritating after the first half-dozen stories, I think.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0749082003, Paperback)

Since the golden age of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers, British mystery-writers have captivated readers all over the world. Now, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, British mysteries are more popular than ever. This collection brings together the most spine-tingling, page-turning stories by Britain?s greatest exponents of the genre. Every mystery-lover will relish Ian Rankin?s gripping Rebus mystery (Tell Me Who to Kill); Reginald Hill?s new Dalziel and Pascoe story (The Game of Dog); an exclusive new adventure for John Mortimer?s loveable Rumpole of the Bailey (Rumpole and the Scales of Justice); and a long-awaited, one-off return from Colin Dexter (The Double Crossing). With new stories from bestselling writers Val McDermid, Mark Billingham, Lindsey Davis and Peter Robinson, and exclusive stories from some of Britain?s most exciting up-and-coming young crime-writers, this bumper collection is a devilishly good read - and the perfect gift for any mystery-lover.
