Take twenty thrilling writers, present them with an idea and then, in relay fashion, each moves the story forward a chapter at a time.

From Lee Child’s introduction to Lawrence Block to Marcia Clark, Alafair Burke, John Connolly, Mary Higgins Clark and more, the plot is advanced seamlessly to its surprising conclusion.
