Alongside classics by Margery Allingham, Anthony Berkeley and Thomas Burke are excellent and unusual stories by authors who are far less well known. The stories give a flavour of how writers have tackled crime in London over the span of more than half a century. Their contributions range from an early serial-killer thriller set on the London Underground and horrific vignettes to cerebral whodunits. What they have in common is an atmospheric London setting, and enduring value as entertainment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach story is introduced by the editor, Martin Edwards, who sheds light on the authors' lives and the background to their writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMARTIN EDWARDS\u003c\/strong\u003e is an award-winning crime writer best known for two series of novels set in Liverpool and the Lake District.
