Mystery Writers of America has published more than 60 anthologies of stories by its members, more or less annually since its founding in 1945.
MWA Presents: Classics brings some of these collections back into print for a new audience. The Classics re-issues began with the 2003 A Hot and Sultry Night for Crime (edited by Jeffery Deaver) and show bestselling writers at the top of their game —and future bestsellers when they were just getting started.
MWA is America’s premier organization for professional mystery writers, dedicated to teaching and learning, to helping our members, sharing our successes, and coming together to celebrate good times and great stories. The Classics line shows MWA at its best, in writing and in fellowship.
