Hook, Line & Sinister: Mysteries to Reel You In

by T. Jefferson Parker

Overview

Original short stories by best-selling mystery writers about their favorite pastime—fishing.

Sixteen of America's favorite author-anglers spin tales of mystery and fishing in this collection. From the tragic to the comic with many stops in between, these stories reflect the authors' passions for both making stories and catching fish. Michael Connelly, Ridley Pearson, John Lescroart, Don Winslow, Melodie Johnson Howe, Victoria Houston, and others all share a mysterious affection for things piscatorial when not busy writing best-selling books. This collection of all-original short stories will entertain even the most discriminating mystery reader.

Proceeds from this book will help support two charitable groups, Casting For Recovery, which helps women cancer survivors to heal body and soul through fly-fishing, and Project Healing Waters, which does the same for our returning veterans.

From the Publisher

This captivating collection of short stories resulted when 16 authors, who are all anglers but not necessarily mystery writers, agreed to write a mystery using fly fishing as the theme. The book’s proceeds will be donated to charity. Narrators John Nelson and Justine Eyre competently catch the voice of each author and the unique perspective provided by the focus on the sport. Both narrators venture into regional accents sparingly, wisely relying on the more subtle devices of pacing and tone to create personalities and deliver suspense. This is an entertaining anthology of fish tales fashioned to expose the dark undercurrents of greed, violence, and even murder that lurk beneath the surface of this seemingly placid, contemplative sport.
