Synopsis

'What finer tribute could there be to five-star crime writer Lovesey than this magnificent collection of his short stories . Along with a dark strand of humour, the tingle of anticipation runs through the book. Every story builds to a climax that leaves you gasping' Daily Mail
To celebrate a writing career spanning over fifty years, this collection showcases the very best of Peter Lovesey's short stories, featuring many of his most beloved characters such as Sergeant Cribb and Bertie.
These inventive and entertaining stories have something for new and old fans alike. From unexpected discoveries hidden among the branches of the family tree, to a parrot and an astonishing cache of uncut diamonds, as well as the story of a marriage revealed between the lines of a Victorian advice column, these tales are all told with Lovesey's trademark wit.
'This splendid book is a wonderful compendium of good crime fiction that will give any aficionado a great deal of pleasure' Martin Edwards

    In a war-torn world, they've found their sanctuary... if not for those bodies in the basement. 
    The rebels against the Happiness-Program have finally found a place to hide, an abandoned resort in Iceland complete with a luxury hotel. Everything would be perfect here if not for their memories, haunting them each in different ways. 
    For Bill, it's the friend he left behind in California... not knowing whether she's alive or dead. For Luna, it's the man from City of Serbia, inviting her to give up on the rebellion and return home to him. For Ava it's the woman who used to take care of her, and who she expects to hear from any day. 
    For rebel leader Kaarina, it's the need for revenge... and the basement of the hotel may give her the opportunity. Because the basement contains four stasis capsules, and the unconscious bodies of four men and women... the founders of the Happiness-Program. 
    If they can wake up the founders, the rebels could finally be free forever. They could strike a blow against the enemy, turning the tide in the ongoing war. But waking up the all-but-dead can have unforeseen consequences...

    Turk, a former Marine Corps dog, wounded in battle, suffers from his own demons. But he never lets it show as he gives everything to Faith to get her back on her feet.
    
    Each are slow to warm up to each other, but when they do, they are inseparable. Each is equally determined to hunt down the demons chasing them, whatever the cost, and to watch each other’s backs—even at the risk of their own life.

    What's buried beneath the frozen ground… will change his world forever 
    The only thing that made those seemingly unending days in prison bearable was knowing what was waiting for him on the outside, buried deep in the frozen ground where she'd sworn to leave his share of the loot. 
    And after years of isolation, all he has to do is dig it up, rejoin her, and get back to the life that's rightfully his.  
    But even the best laid plans oft go awry. And sure, they'd never claimed to be the best of the best, but still… he never could have imagined what he'd find waiting for him, cold and dark at the bottom of that hole. 
    From A. J. Payler, author of The Killing Song, Bank Error in Your Favor, and Terror Next Door comes Buried, Frozen—a story of the terror that lies at the heart of the human condition and the fear that creeps in the darkest, coldest hours of the night. 
      
    Also featuring bonus story, You Are the Protagonist (as seen in Flash in a Flash)! 
    As originally published in Dead of Winter: 13 Tales of Winter Terror (M Presents, January 31, 2024) and Flash in a Flash (May 13, 2024).
