Book Description:
New York Times bestsellers Sharyn McCrumb, Joyce Carol Oates, and Anne Perry each provided a brand-new, never-before-published tale for this unique collection of stories edited by New York Times bestselling author and mystery legend Ed McBain.
 
“The Resurrection Man” by Sharyn McCrumb: During America's first century, doctors used any means necessary to advance their craft—including dissecting corpses.  Sharyn McCrumb brings the South of the 1850s to life in this story of a man who is assigned to dig up bodies to help those that are still alive.
 
“The Corn Maiden” by Joyce Carol Oates: When a twelve-year-old girl is abducted in a small New York town, the crime starts a spiral of destruction and despair as only this master of psychological suspense could write it.
 
“Hostages” by Anne Perry: The bestselling historical mystery author has written a tale of beautiful yet still savage Ireland today.  In their eternal struggle for freedom, there is about to be a changing of the guard in the Irish Republican Army.  Yet for some, old habits—and honor—still die hard, even at gunpoint.

This is a collection of short novels, all three of them very good. I particularly liked "The Resurrection Man" by Sharyn McCrumb. I feel like I have visited three separate worlds. Good read.

I loved Hostages and Resurrection, but not Corn Maiden.
