The 13 Crimes of Science Fiction Author:Isaac Asimov (Editor) A private investigator hunts a killer and uncovers a fantastic and horrifying secret. An important man is murdered and there are numerous suspects--each from a different planet. A computer helps a young man solve a puzzle and assumes the personality of a long-dead gangster. — Isaac Asimov has conspired with collaborators Martin Harry Greenberg an... more »d Charles G. Waugh to mastermind this diabolically clever anthology in which each of the classic categories of crime fiction is represented by a science fiction tale. Here are such science fiction greats as Philip K. Dick, Larry Niven, Clifford Simak, Jack Vance and the illustrious Dr. Asimov himself writing cosmic variations on the whodunit, how-done-it, why-done-it, the hard-boiled detective, the police procedural and even a brand-new category -- the psychic detective story.
