NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The award-winning author of the Inspector Lynley series, hailed as “queen of the mystery genre” (Entertainment Weekly), presents an extraordinary collection of short stories that deftly explore the dark side of everyday people—and the lengths to which they will go to get what they want most. . . .

“[I, Richard] will leave you dizzy, dazzled and dying for more.”—People

In five tantalizing and original tales, Elizabeth George plumbs the depths of human nature—and human weakness—as only she can. From the chilling tale of a marriage built on an appalling set of lies that only death can reveal . . . to the story of a squabbling group of Anglophiles saved from a killer thanks to Inspector Thomas Lynley . . . to the final, title story about a penniless schoolteacher whose ambition turns murderous, I, Richard is filled with page-turning drama, danger, and unmatched suspense.

Ironic, revealing, and undeniably entertaining, this imaginative collection proves once again why Elizabeth George is one of today’s best-loved authors.

“There is nothing like a change in pace to make you appreciate a favorite author all over again.”—The Charlotte Observer

“Displays her talent for short fiction . . . satisfactorily shivery.”—The Orlando Sentinel

“Shows her skill at delivering distilled shocks to the reader’s nervous system. . . . The introductions provided for each story are marvelous in themselves. . . . What more could a crime collection have?”—Booklist

“Suspenseful and chilling . . . a bonus for fans.”—Daily News, New York

“Surprisingly light in tone, satirically skewering a variety of unpleasant types while paying homage to time-honored plot devices.”—Los Angeles Times

“In her first story collection, eminent author George presents five nimbly written and gripping tales, each with a stunning conclusion.”—Publishers Weekly
