the rose in the snow

Coming in February '08 -- THE ROSE IN THE SNOW: TALES OF MISCHIEF AND MAYHEM. A collection of thirteen of my short stories...some are new, some are my old favorites, and two are Derringer Award winners.

Here's some advance praise:

"Derringer Award-winner Kris Neri's The Rose in the Snow: Tales of Mischief and Mayhem is as enjoyable as it is deadly! Murder, humor, and suspense are packed in snug as burglarious tools on a black bag job. An impressive volume worthy of Neri's superb talent."
— Andrew McAleer, Editor Crimestalker Casebook, author of Mystery Writing in a Nutshell

“Kris Neri's The Rose in the Snow is a literary one-two punch: the multilayered characters and backgrounds set you up for the knock-out surprise endings.”
— Toni L.P. Kelner, Agatha Award winning short story writer and author of Without Mercy

“Kris Neri understands the purpose and the proper crafting of the mystery short, which is the reason why she's gotten so many of them into print. A fine writer, Neri entertains us here with many of her best. These stories will surprise and delight short crime fiction fans, giving readers chills, tears, numerous laughs, and the pleasure of experiencing every other in-between sensation.”
— G. Miki Hayden, winner of the Edgar for best short mystery story
