Praise for Maxim Jakubowski and His Books
"I have been a fan of Maxim Jakubowski for years. There just is no finer mystery writer and editor anywhere. Find a comfortable chair and a strong drink and prepare to be enthralled." —Alexander Algren, author of Out in a Flash: Murder Mystery Flash Fiction
"Maxim Jakubowski is deeply experienced in the field . . . Sometimes a brief zap of great writing is just what you're in the mood for or have time for. That's when anthologies like his are ideal . . . intellectually outstanding." —New York Journal of Books
