Who destroyed Professor Wolf's prize-winning tomatoes? What's behind the mysterious goings-on at Killington Manor?

In her first collection of short stories, Sara Gran explores what detective stories mean and why we need them. If you love mysteries, and wonder why, this book is for you. Featuring Claire DeWitt and more.
