Summary:
"Drawing upon Martin Edwards' expert knowledge of golden age crime and mystery short fiction, this short story collection features a death at the races, a murder at the regatta, and foul play in all its forms. In this anthology, where sports meets crime, the basketball court, the golf course - even the wholesome freshness of the swimming gala - become the setting of every kind of skullduggery penned by both masters of the genre and rarely reprinted authors"-- Provided by publisher.
