Rich in character, incident, and exceptional storytelling, this collection of Oddments is the best evidence of why the Private Eye Writers of America honored Bill Pronzini with their Lifetime Achievement Award. The fourteen selections include every kind of mystery story, from 1890's detectives Quincannon and Carpenter to astronauts on the planet Venus, and from the depths of the ocean to Death Row. Pronzini rounds out the collection with a trio of turn-the-tables tales, one featuring the Nameless Detective.
