Treize nouvelles policieres, noires et mystérieuses

Translation by Élisabeth Vonarburg of
The Arthur Ellis Awards - An Anthology of Prize-Winning Crime & Mystery Fiction
First published by Quarry Press, 1999.


A collection of works that attests to the richness and strength of Canadian crime and mystery writing.
(Peter Sellers)




Illustration : Bernard Duchesne		 What would you do if you knew there is a corpse in the freezer, but, because you're a cranky old lady in a wheelchair, no one believes you ?
How would you react if, at a casino, someone offered you a sure-fire method to win the jackpot ?
And how would you prove your innocence if you have no alibi and all the clues point to you as the one responsible for the grisly murder of a young girl ?
Since 1988, the Arthur Ellis Award jury has been selecting the best crime or mystery short story published by a Canadian English-speaking writer. Peter Sellers, the former president of Crime Writers of Canada and creator of Cold Blood, the famous anthology series of Canadian crime and mystery stories, has brought them together for you in this anthology, which is certain to be... a winner !
