Lawrence Sanders has long been considered the master of suspense writing -- and with 50 million copies of his novels in print, his reputation as a thriller craftsman extraordinaire is well deserved. Here, together for the first time in a single volume, are three of his heart-stopping best. From "The First Deadly Sin" ("One of the best detective stories ever written" -- The Pittsburgh Press) to "The Third Deadly Sin" ("As good as you can get" -- The New York Times), these shocking stories prove why Sanders has captured the imagination of millions as no other popular writer has. -- Publisher's description
