Cr�ticas:

"Who doesn't like a good treasure hunt? Who doesn't like discovering new talent on the rise? Both will be found within the covers of KILLER YEAR, an anthology of spanking new talent doing what they do best: getting your blood pumping and holding you breathless on the razor's edge of suspense." --James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of MAP OF BONES and THE JUDAS STRAIN

"I'm for anything that increases writers' odds of enjoying long and successful careers. Let's hope KILLER YEAR does just that, for these writers and generations of writers to come." --Laura Lippman

"The disturbingly good new talent showcased in this volume bodes well for the future of the genre." --Publishers Weekly

"The mentors' introductions to these stories, plus brief biographies at the end, should entice readers to longer works by these promising new authors. Even amid a recent rash of anthologies in the genre, this one is well worth a look." --Library Journal

"Gems come from the 13 [Killer Year] members.... Remarkably for a collection this ample, there's no sign of a clinker." --Kirkus Reviews

The graduating class includes such rising stars as Robert Gregory Browne, Toni McGee Causey, Marcus Sakey, Derek Nikitas, Marc Lecard, J.T.

Bestselling authors Laura Lippman and M.J. Rose contribute insightful essays. Inside you'll read about a small time crook in over his head, a story told backwards with a heroine not to be messed with, a tale of boys and the trouble they will get into over a girl, and many more stories of the highest caliber in murder, mayhem, and sheer entertainment. This amazing anthology, edited by the grandmaster Lee Child, is sure to garner lots of attention and keep readers coming back for more.
