Pre-Owned Thou Shalt Not Kill: Biblical Mystery Stories (Paperback) 0786715758 9780786715756

The greatest story ever told; the rise and fall of civilizations, empires, kings, despots, prophets and disciples; tales of love, betrayal, revenge, war, and disaster, the most fundamental and eternal myths and fables of Judeo-Christian society; the end of the world -the Bible has all of these. And now acclaimed mystery author Anne Perry has culled together an extraordinary list of writers--from Sharyn McCrumb, Carole Nelson Douglas, Robert Barnard, Marcia Talley, Susan Moody and Peter Lovesey to Sharan Newman, Nancy Pickard, Reginald Hill, Gillian Linscott, Simon Brett, and Peter Robinson--to contribute all new mystery and crime stories inspired by and based on these most ancient of biblical tales. From Sampson and Delilah to David and Goliath; from Mount Sinai to the Last Supper, "Thou Shalt Not Kill" explores the stories of the bible as chilling expressions of the most basic instincts found in the Good Book.
