Publisher's Summary

A dashing lineup of elegant crime tales and gritty hardboiled detective stories, alternately menacing and cozy, with two exotic locales, and murder in the mix.

Stories in this set include:

  • Dashiell Hammett's "The Creeping Siamese", performed by John Shea - The Continental Op gets his man
  • C.S. Montanye's "A Shock for the Countess", performed by Fionnula Flanagan - Intrigue in the alps in this clever tale of a jewelry heist
  • Ed McBain's, "Improvisation", performed by Isaiah Sheffer - A hilarious story of two tall and willowy sisters up to no good
  • Shirley Jackson's "The Summer People", performed by René Auberjonois - Spooky goings-on at a country cottage
  • Nobel Prize-winner Nadine Gordimer's "Country Lovers", performed by Hattie Winston - Forbidden love on a South African farm
  • Louise Erdrich's "Gleason", performed by Robert Sean Leonard - A simple plot goes terribly awry

    Selected Shorts is an award-winning, one-hour program featuring readings of classic and new short fiction, recorded live at New York's Symphony Space. One of the most popular series on the airwaves, this unique show is hosted by Isaiah Sheffer and produced for radio by Symphony Space and WNYC Radio.
