Abstract:
Starting with the 2021, the annual short story anthology will now become The Best American Mystery and Suspense and the new series editor, Steph Cha, and best-selling guest editor, Alafair Burke, will select the best short mystery and suspense fiction of the year. This volume spans from a mediocre spa in Florida, to New York's gritty East Village, to death row in Alabama, revealing boundless suspense in small, quiet moments and startling twists in the least likely of places.
