100 Masters of Mystery and Detective Fiction
This two-volume set profiles 100 important mystery writers, with entries ranging in length from 2,500 to 6,000 words.

They evaluate each author's contribution to the genre, overview the author's life, and examine the author's most representative works. A bibliography at the end of each entry lists the author's mystery/detective works chronologically by series and lists nonmystery works chronologically by genre.
