Format: Paperback, 2nd ed., 312pp. ISBN: 1582971021 Publisher: F & W Publications, Incorporated Pub. Date: April 2002 Writing mystery fiction can be a special kind of puzzle. In this new, revised edition of the Mystery Writers of America classic, Sue Grafton weaves the experience of today's top mystery authors into a comprehensive mystery writing "how-to."

The book's contributors include a "who's who" of the mystery writing elite: * Faye and Jonathan Kellerman on conducting accurate research * Michael Connelly on mastering characterization * Tony Hillerman on writing without an outline * Lawrence Block on overcoming writer's block Sara Paretsky on creating successful series characters
