New York Times bestselling author Mary Higgins Clark & Elizabeth Peters present this delightfully chilling collection of original mystery stories. This fitting tribute to the world's most beloved crime writer, Dame Agatha Christie, showcases a house full of top contemporary writers at their very best. "Malice' is self-explanatory, I trust, " writes the acclaimed Elizabeth Peters in her introduction to this outstanding collection. "Domestic' distinguishes the personal and private aspects of crime from the public and impersonal. Our murderers don't kill for the fun of it (serial killers) or for a misguided ideal (assassins and terrorists) or for pay (hired hit men). They only do in people they know and love (or hate). "

MARY HIGGINS CLARK, America's top bestselling suspense writer, is known as "The Queen of Suspense."

ELIZABETH PETERS was born and brought up in Illinois and earned her Ph. D. in Egyptology from the University of Chicago's famed Oriental Institute. Peters was named Grand Master at the inaugural Anthony Awards in 1986 and Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America at the Edgar Awards in 1998. She lives in a historic farmhouse in Western Maryland.
