{"product_id":"9781479407491","title":"The Second Golden Age of Mystery \u0026 Crime MEGAPACK : Ruth Chessman","description":"I first encountered Ruth Chessman's work when browsing back issues of Manhunt magazine--and I was immediately intrigued. Manhunt was a noir\/hardboiled digest-sized mystery magazine, and female bylines were uncommon. A quick check showed that she also published stories in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine as well as a 1965 middle-grade novel called \"Bound for Freedom,\" which was adapted as a movie.\u003cp\u003e She must have instilled her love of crime writing in her family, since her daughter turns out to be none other than mystery writer Jane K. Cleland -- who was kind enough to grant us permission to reprint her late mother's work. (Jane also supplied us with copies of hard-to-find stories.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Ruth Chessman was a very good, if far too infrequent writer. This collection assembles most of her published short fiction.
