Crimeucopia – Crank It Up!
To honour motor transportation in some of its many roles in the crime fiction genre, we have gathered together a fine collection of short pieces that we feel, in one way or another, will crank up your adrenaline and get your emotions racing without making you blow a gasket or strip a gear.
Featuring: Ed Teja, John A. Connor, Ruth Morgan, Jesse Aaron, Scotch Rutherford, Billie Livingston, Robert Petyo, John Elliott, M.E. Proctor, William Kitcher, R. M. Linning, Annie Reed, Wil A. Emerson, Dan A. Cardoza, Alan J. Wahnefried, Sam Wiebe, Jon Fain, and Mark James Mc Donough
We hope you’ll find something that you immediately like, as well as something that takes you out of your regular racing line comfort zone – and puts you into a completely new one.
In other words, in the spirit of the Murderous Ink Press motto:
You never know what you like until you read it.
