Pokaždé ale šlo o postavy stvořené jediným autorem. V této výjimečné antologii je tomu jinak: tentokrát spojilo své tvůrčí síly třiadvacet autorů, kteří bez jakýchkoli pochybností představují absolutní špičku žánru. Ve dvojicích (a jedné trojici) napsali krimipovídky, v nichž po pachateli pátrají vskutku nečekaní parťáci: hrdinové nejúspěšnějších sérií za dvě uplynulá desetiletí. Zajímá vás, jak dokáže vyjít Lincoln Rhyme s Lucasem Davenportem? Anebo jak probíhá pátrání, které vede tým ve složení Harry Bosch a Patrick Kenzie? Jaké záhadě se snaží přijít na kloub dvojice Cotton Malone a Gray Pierce? Bezprecedentní literární počin pod editorskou taktovkou Davida Baldacciho je pro milovníky detektivek a thrillerů takřka povinnou četbou. Protože kdo by si nechal ujít setkání těch nejlepších z nejlepších? Sestavil David Baldacci. 1. vydání.
