Description
"It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories--a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town.

In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers such as Michael Connelly, Joe Hill"--
