Overview

A Murder Coming includes some of Powells greatest, and award winning, stories, including those featured in Playboy and every major mystery magazine. Included are classic stories like A Dirge for Clowntown which won the Ellery Queen Readers' Award and Bottom Walker , which won the Arthur Ellis Award. With an occasional dark sense of humour and developed irony Powell is a one-of-a-kind crime writer. Acclaimed crime writer Marvin Lachman referred to Powell as the S J Perelman of the mystery story -- outrageous, hilarious satires [with] surprise endings.
