Challenge the Widow-Maker
by Clark Howard
Clark Howard is one of mystery's most honored writer. He has won the Edgar Award for Best Short Story, and recently set a record with his fifth Ellery Queen Readers Award. Challenge the Widow-Maker and Other Stories of People in Peril is about ordinary people who have not always done well with what life has dealt them - ex-cons, jazz trumpeters, hardluck boxers, aging surfers, Puerto Rican dirt farmers, lonely old men living in tenements.
In the moving "Custer's Ghost," one of the last survivors finds closure half a century after Little Bighorn. In "The Dakar Run," a former race car driver must find the integrity to stand up to gangsters as well as the grueling desert race in northern Africa. In these and ten other compelling stories, Clark Howard demonstrates why he is one of the finest storytellers of this generation.
