It all started with a simple, yet sneakily difficult challenge from global best-selling author Harlan Coben: Pick a bird of prey, then use it as the inspiration for a brand-new story. The response from some of the best writers on the planet: Game on! The result: Eleven stories that are twisty, scary, surprising and bursting with imagination. An egg worth more than its weight in gold. A mysterious operative known only as Owl. An eagle-watcher who sees more than she should. Even a story that somehow places the Maltese Falcon in a nursing home.

A master storyteller at his best - the O. Henry Prize winner Stephen King delivers a generous collection of stories, several of them brand-new, featuring revelatory autobiographical comments on when, why, and how he came to write (or rewrite) each story. Magnificent, eerie, utterly compelling, these stories comprise one of King's finest gifts to his constant fan. "I made them especially for you," says King. "Feel free to examine them, but please be careful. The best of them have teeth."

John Ceepak, a former MP just back from Iraq, has just joined the Sea Haven police department. The job offer came from an old Army buddy who hoped to give Ceepak at least a summer's worth of rest and relaxation to help him forget the horrors of war. Instead, Ceepak will head up the murder investigation.

In Christopher Moore's ingenious debut novel, we meet one of the most memorably mismatched pairs in the annals of literature. The good-looking one is one-hundred-year-old ex-seminarian and "roads" scholar Travis O'Hearn. The green one is Catch, a demon with a nasty habit of eating most of the people he meets.

Crime Stories contains no Crime stories ? Just FYI
I disliked that the title of the book is a misnomer. It is a collection of satirical look at very disjointed topics. JA Konrath is of course known for his horror stories. I took it for granted I admit. I did enjoy it though as Luke Daniels is a great narrator . And the stories are sometimes entertaining. There were 2 I could really relate to, one on assassin novels , was great. Also the roast of James Bond gadgets. I believe people may want to skip this one if they want a crime novel .

A great set of stories!
I had no idea that I was going to laugh so much during a collection of thriller stories! I'll definitely be checking out more of Konrath's work. Good humor is difficult to write out so the reader actually laughs out loud, but Konrath has easily mastered this.

I don't think it works well as a stand alone collection, but fans of Konrath will enjoy this lighthearted insight into his world.

Stinks! Save your money.
Several of the short stories are just horrible. Not one good story in the entire collection. I kept waiting for the non existent good story. Painful to listen to.
