Unravel twisted crimes and occult mysteries with the iconic Nameless Detective in this riveting collection of novellas and short stories.
In the title novella, Zigzag, a seemingly straightforward accident investigation takes a sinister turn, entangling Nameless in a labyrinthine murder scheme. Grapplin, originally featured in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, follows a missing person case that can only end in either closure or heartbreak.
Nightscape, also originally published in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine as The Winning Ticket, proves that one thing can unexpectedly lead to another in the world of crime. The collection concludes with Revenant, an original novella that ensnares Nameless in an eerie crime with haunting occult undercurrents.
Mystery Writers of America Grandmaster Bill Pronzini delivers a masterfully crafted anthology of suspense, showcasing the sharp wit and deductive prowess of his legendary San Francisco detective.
