Summary:
"In these stories, seventeen writers from around the globe tell of dark doings in sunny places. Join them in the Dominican Republic, the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, chic Mykonos, Seville at midnight, and on the morning beachfront of Ghana where a man has revenge on his mind. Follow an NGO worker kidnapped in Yemen, an engineer repairing a dam in turmoil-torn Ethiopia, a foolish young Englishman hitchhiking across the Sahara. You will visit historic Istanbul and Mombasa and learn the secrets of family conflics in Singapore, in Puerto Rico, in New Orleans. The authors of these tales will convince you that evil under the sun makes for the most compelling, most entertaining crime fiction anywhere on Earth."--Back cover of work.
