Talented sportsmen inexplicably go absent without leave, crafty gamblers conspire in the hope of making a killing, and personal rivalries and jealousies come to a head on fields of play... The classic stories in this new British Library anthology show that crime is a game for all seasons.
An anthology of vintage crime with sports at the centre of the spectacle, in the tradition of Ellery Queen's popular 1942 anthology "Sporting Blood".
