More Impossible crimes solved by Dr.Sam Hawthorne.
Northmont, Connecticut, seemed to be haunted by ghosts, ghouls, and impossibilities, until Dr. Sam Hawthorne explained the seemingly impossible. All But Impossible contains fifteen of Dr. Sam's most extraordinary cases solved between 1936 and 1940, including A newly murdered corpse in a sealed tomb in a cemetery A body in a scarecrow A jug that turns water into wine -- poisoned wine A disappearance from a swimming pool A baby who becomes a child's doll on the way to being baptized An unfound door A room that appears and vanishes And eight other ingenious problems for Dr. Sam
A man who claims to be the Devil is trying to kill him after he witnessed a woman killed by an invisible hand. Lightning bolts that strike from a clear sky, at locations across the globe, to kill a series of former astronauts. A group of friends who sold their souls to the Devil as a joke when they were students find their time is up and the Devil has come to collect. Simon Ark, who may have once been an Egyptian Coptic priest, implies that he is 2000 years old, and he has searched for Satan all these years. The introduction is by Gigi Pandian, an heir to the Impossible Crime tradition. She is the Agatha Award winning author of ten mystery novels and more than a dozen locked room mystery short stories.

Constant Hearses and Other Revolutionary Mysteries contains not one, but two of Edward D. Hoch's beloved characters.

Swift deals with many of the leaders of the Revolution, including George Washington, John Adams―and Benedict Arnold. All of the stories are contained in this collection. The second character is the decidedly flamboyant Gideon Parrot, the Golden Age detective who uses his brain to solve the most baffling of crimes. All five of the stories are included in this collection.

In our nearly thirty years of publishing the best of Ed Hoch's short stories, we've neglected Captain Leopold, the head of the Violent Crimes Squad. Along with Lt. Fletcher and Sgt Trent, the stories are as police procedurals; however, Ed Hoch's plotting skills shine in all the stories. The collection contains 15 stories carefully curated just for this book by Hoch expert Roland Lacourbe.
