Sinossi

The 'Vintage Murder Mysteries - Ultimate Anthology' traces a broad scope within the detective fiction landscape, blossoming from the classic to the cosmic. With seminal works from the masters of suspense and plot twists, this collection emphasizes the evolutionary arc of the genre, from the gas-lit streets imagined by Dickens to the shrewd psychological corners navigated by Christie. Each story has been curated not only for its intrinsic merit but for its ability to complement and converse with the others, weaving a tapestry rich in narrative complexity and stylistic diversity. The anthology brings together an illustrious cadre of authors who shaped and pushed the boundaries of the mystery genre. From Edgar Allan Poe's foundational contributions to the detective story formula to the nuanced social critiques embedded in the narratives by Mary Roberts Rinehart, these creators both reflected and influenced the periods in which they wrote. Their collective output conjoins the Victorian anxiety about order and the modernist fascination with the human psyche, making this collection a pivotal cross-section of historical and literary movements. For enthusiasts of classic literature and new explorers alike, 'Vintage Murder Mysteries - Ultimate Anthology' offers a unique convergence of seminal voices in mystery writing. Through its pages, readers are invited to traverse an intriguing labyrinth of intrigue and narrative sophistication. This anthology not only serves as an educational tool, shedding light on the evolution of the mystery genre, but also as a profound journey through the art of storytelling, where each turn of the page enriches the understanding of human motivations and cultural reflections.

    What are you capable of? Go through a life-changing, tragic event, and ask yourself that same question. Could you lie, steal, cheat? Betray someone you love, hide secrets from the one person you are supposed to share everything with? Could you take justice into your own hands? Could you kill? Melany Polk had to ask herself these same questions. She had built the perfect life with her husband, Richard. Together they are raising two teenagers in the suburbs of Plano, Texas. While Richard’s work calls for him to be away from home a lot, Melany is allowed the privilege of being a stay-at-home mom. She spends her days catering to her children, taking strolls with the family dog, and gossiping with her elderly pothead neighbor. At the age of 43, she is in the best shape of her life. After taking up running as a hobby, she has a routine of fitting in a run around her neighborhood every night before bed. She considers herself a good, positive person. The people in her life would say the same. She could never answer yes to any of the questions above, or at least the old Melany couldn’t. On the evening of March 4, a single act of brutal violence almost ends Melany's life during her nightly run. She now suffers through a grueling recovery. Melany struggles to find herself but is failing miserably. Every time she starts to feel like herself again, something is thrown in her path to remind her that he’s still out there. Lost and spiraling out of control, she has begun to withdraw from life. The disfigured face and body she now carries are starting to create a personality of its own. She wonders if she will ever be able to move on. The monster that did this to her remains a mystery; she fears he may come back so he can finish her off. Melany may seem like a timid housewife to some. The monster changed something inside her. She is no longer the innocent woman from before. After so much has been taken from her, she decides it’s time to take some of it back. With a taste for revenge, darkness takes over her. It has her doing things she thought she’d never be capable of.

But now crimes with a similar MO are happening in a small Iowa town, and a local detective believes the killer is back and ready to strike again. 
     
    With little time left on the clock before they have another murder on their hands, private investigators River Ryland and Tony St. Clair must work alongside Tony's detective father to find evidence that will uncover an evil that has survived far too long. As the danger mounts and the suspect closes in, it will take all they have to catch a killer--before he catches one of them.
