Description
A Murder Coming includes some of Powell's greatest, and award winning, stories, including those featured in Playboy and every major mystery magazine. Included are classic stories like “A Dirge for Clowntown” which won the Ellery Queen Readers' Award and “Bottom Walker,” which won the Arthur Ellis Award. With an occasional dark sense of humour and developed irony Powell is a one-of-a-kind crime writer. Acclaimed crime writer Marvin Lachman referred to Powell as the " S.J. Perelman of the mystery story” outrageous, hilarious satires” [with surprise endings.”
