Death Cruise: Crime Stories on the Open Seas
Edited by Lawrence Block
Can there be a better, more romantic setting for a crime story than a ship on the open sea? Step onto any vessel — even the Staten Island Ferry or a garbage scow — and you experience an aura of romance, adventure, and mystery.
All the stories contained in Death Cruise are set aboard cruise ships. Written by members of the International Association of Crime Writers, a global fraternity of mystery writers, these compelling stories come from many nations, including Belgium, Denmark, Cuba, Brazil, England, Germany, Spain, France, and of course, the United States.
