Publishers Weekly
In the former, edited by Susan Malling and Barbara Peters, writers such as Nevada Barr and Aaron Elkins reflect, respectively, on the art treasures of national parks and the mystery of forgery; in the latter, edited by Peters, Lee Childs introduces a lineup that includes Nancy Pickard, who considers what it feels like to carry on the tradition of Virginia Rich, and John Dunning, who ponders how his various jobs as a glass cutter, as a racetrack peon have informed his writing.
