This was a great series. It seems today's anthologies are
often more
concerned with very specific themes rather than quality. Cat
mysteries!
Rabbi mysteries! Skateboarding mysteries! Skateboarding
Rabbi's who own
cats mysteries! Gimme a break!
On the other hand, in 1990, Ivy did print a PI anthology,
called P.I.
Files, edited by Greenberg (does this guy sleep?) and Loren
Estleman,
very much the same sort of format as the others, that's also
worth
hunting for.
