Joseph Wallace is old enough to remember 1966, when the United States Air Force lost a hydrogen bomb in the ocean off Spain—the incident that inspired him to write “Deep Submergence” for this collection. He is the author of two novels: Diamond Ruby (2010), a historical novel set in his hometown of Brooklyn, and Invasive Species (2013), an end-of-the-world thriller. His short stories have appeared in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, Baltimore Noir, Bronx Noir, Hardboiled Brooklyn, and a previous MWA anthology, 2009’s The Prosecution Rests, edited by Linda Fairstein. “Custom Sets,” his story in that anthology, went on to be selected by Lee Child and Otto Penzler for The Best American Mystery Stories 2010. Joe lives north of New York City with his wife and children, an overexuberant dog, and a put-upon cat.

Robert Mangeot has published short fiction in various journals and anthologies. His work has won contests sponsored by the Chattanooga Writers’ Guild and Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers. He is married and lives in Nashville, Tennessee. You can visit his website at www.robertmangeot.com.

T. Jefferson Parker is the author of twenty crime novels, including Silent Joe and California Girl, both of which won the Edgar Award for best mystery. His novel Laguna Heat was made into an HBO movie, and his books have been translated into fourteen languages. His last six books are a “Border Sextet,” featuring ATF task-force agent Charlie Hood as he tries to stanch the flow of illegal firearms being smuggled from the U.S. into Mexico. Parker enjoys fishing, hiking, and cycling. He lives in Southern California with his family.

Laura Lippman has published nineteen novels, one novella, and a collection of short stories. Her work includes the Tess Monaghan series and several stand-alones, including Every Secret Thing, which has been adapted for the screen. Her work has won the Edgar, Anthony, Agatha, Nero Wolfe, Quill, Barry, Macavity, and Gumshoe awards. She lives in Baltimore and New Orleans.

Katherine Neville, New York Times bestselling author, has been called the female Umberto Eco, Alexandre Dumas, Charles Dickens, and Stephen Spielberg. Publishers Weekly and Library Journal have credited her groundbreaking first novel, The Eight, with paving the way for adventure-quest books like The Da Vinci Code.

Neville’s previous twenty-year career as an international computer executive for the likes of the Department of Energy, IBM, OPEC, and the Bank of America took her to live in six countries on three continents; she had colorful stints along the way as a professional portrait painter, photographer, busboy, waiter, and fashion model. She draws on these experiences to enrich her fiction. Her award-winning books are translated into forty languages, in eighty-eight countries.

J. A. Jance is the New York Times bestselling author of forty-seven contemporary mysteries in four different series—J. P. Beaumont, Joanna Brady, The Walker Family, and Ali Reynolds. Born in South Dakota and raised in Bisbee, Arizona, she now divides her time between homes in Tucson, Arizona and in Bellevue, Washington.
