A Merry Band Of Murderers Edited by Claudia Bishop and Don Bruns WEBSITE Mystery and music combine in this exciting publishing first. Mystery writers—each a professional musician—contributed an original short story and an original composition themed around the story. The short stories cover a range of genres—from suspense to cozies. And the music will span jazz, folk, country-western, rock and roll, and ballads. Each composition appears in annotated musical form at the end of the writers' contributions. Each story is accompanied by an interview with the author and a lively biographical introduction. A music CD is attached to the inside back of the hardcover. Contributors include Jeffery Deaver, Jim Fusilli, Bill Moody, Rhys Bowen, Val McDermid, Peter Robinson, Mary Anna Evans, John Lescroart, Tom Corcoran, Rupert Holmes, Nathan Walpow, Claudia Bishop, and Don Bruns.
