<DIV><DIV><B>Lyrical, suspenseful short fiction from an Edgar Award&ndash;winning author: &ldquo;Thomas Cook has long been one of my favorite writers&rdquo; (Harlan Coben).</B></DIV><DIV>&#160;<DIV>Over his acclaimed career, Cook&rsquo;s novels have haunted, riveted, and spellbound readers across the world, and his short stories are equally acclaimed. They range from the intensely focused world of &ldquo;Fatherhood,&rdquo; the Herodotus Award&ndash;winning title story, to the Edgar-nominated &ldquo;Rain,&rdquo; a dark, kaleidoscopic tale of Manhattan on a single, rain-swept night. &ldquo;The Fix,&rdquo; the story of a famous boxing fix that was, well, not a fix at all, was selected for inclusion in Best Mystery Stories of the Year. &ldquo;What She Offered,&rdquo; the gripping tale of a one-night stand, was included in the Best Noir Stories of the Century.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>Like Cook&rsquo;s novels, the range of this collection is, itself, astonishing. From a backwoods Appalachian shack during the Depression (&ldquo;Poor People&rdquo;) to a Midwestern college campus in the throes of sixties revolt (&ldquo;The Sun-Gazer&rdquo;) to a midtown Manhattan bookstore on Christmas Eve (&ldquo;The Lessons of the Season&rdquo;), this collection demonstrates precisely that, in the words of Michael Connolly, &ldquo;no one tells a story better than Thomas H. Cook.&rdquo;</DIV></DIV></DIV>
