These tales, selected by Ruskin bond, are about mystery, adventure, suspense, and crime-themes of enduring appeal to the reader.

In Great Crime Stories, danger lurks in tales by the masters of the short story. Dangerous men and women, ruthless in their motives to satiate their egos with revenge and murder, fill the pages of the stories.

True tales of Mystery and Adventure illustrate thirteen authentic tales of incredible journeys, shipwrecks, imprisonment and torture, great escapes, adventures in the wilds, and yes, experiences of the supernatural too.

The thirteen tales in suspense stories by well-known writes are bound to keep you burning the midnight oil. And then you are on your own.
