In the 1960s a number of gifted writers—some at the peak of their careers, others newcomers— reimagined American crime fiction through formal experimentation and the exploration of audacious new subjects and themes. This is the first of two volumes gathering the best of their work, nine novels of astonishing variety and inventiveness that pulse with the energies of that turbulent, transfor mative decade. In The Murderers (1961) by Fredric Brown, an outof-work actor, hanging out with Beat drifters on the fringes of Hollywood, concocts a murder scheme that devolves into nightmare. This late work by a master in many genres is one of his darkest and most ingenious. Dan J. Marlowe’s The Name of the Game Is Death (1962) channels the inner life of a violent criminal who freely acknowledges the truth of a prison psychiatrist’s diagnosis: "Your values arc not civilized values.” Written with unnerving emo tional authenticity, the story hurtles toward an annihilating climax. Charles Williams drew on his experience in the mer chant marine for his thriller Dead Calm (1963). A newlywed couple alone on a small yacht find them selves at the mercy of the mysterious survivor they have rescued from a sinking ship, in a suspenscful story that chillingly evokes the perils of the open ocean. In the beautifully told and sharply observant The Expendable Man (1963), Dorothy B. Hughes’s final masterpiece of suspense, a young man in the American Southwest runs afoul of racial assump tions after he picks up a hitchhiker who is soon found dead. In twenty-four brilliantly constructed novels,
Richard Stark (a pen name of Donald Westlake) charted the career of Parker, a hard-nosed profes sional thief, with rigorous clarity. The Score (1964), a stand-out in the series, finds Parker and his criminal associates hatching a plot to rob simultaneously all the jewelry stores, payroll offices, and banks in a
remote Western mining town, only to come up against the human limits of even the most intricate planning.
