520    "Edgar Award-winning editor Otto Penzler's new anthology 
       brings together the most cunning, resourceful, and 
       brilliant female sleuths in mystery fiction ... For the 
       first time ever, Otto Penzler gathers the most iconic 
       women of the detective canon over the past 150 years, 
       captivating and surprising readers in equal measure. The 
       74 handpicked stories in this collection introduce us to 
       the most determined of gumshoe gals, from debutant 
       detectives like Anna Katharine Green's Violet Strange to 
       spinster sleuths like Mary Roberts Rinehart's Hilda Adams,
       from groundbreaking female cops like Baroness Orczy's Lady
       Molly to contemporary crime-fighting P.I.s like Sue 
       Grafton's Kinsey Millhone, and include indelible tales 
       from Agatha Christie, Carolyn Wells, Edgar Wallace, L.T. 
       Meade and Robert Eustace, Sara Paretsky, Nevada Barr, 
       Linda Barnes, Laura Lippman, and many more. Meet 
       determined law-enforcing ladies and captivating criminal 
       masterminds of all kinds, including a brilliant scientist 
       who solves a murder using a single tea leaf ; a master 
       thief who leaves a calling card at the scene of the crime 
       lest the servants be wrongly accused ; a powerful woman 
       who oversees a rogue band of vigilantes ; a nosy detective
       best known for her outrageous hats who solves a murder 
       using tropical fish ; an X-rated sleuth who gets 
       shanghaied by an unsavory character ; a puritanical 
       villainess hell-bent on avenging a perceived wrong ; and, 
       last but not least, a crime-solving nun who unravels a 
       complicated poisoning plot" --|cProvided by publisher.
