A Hill Station's Vintage Murders and Other Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789361563638)

'If ever there was a born murderer, he must surely have been William Jones. The thing came so naturally to him. No extreme violence, no messy shootings or hacking or throttling. Just the right amount of poison, administered with skill and discretion.'

What is it about stories of crime that appeals to the human mind? Is it the thrill of solving the mystery before the solution is spelt out, or a morbid fascination with the peculiar circumstances that could push a person into committing the ultimate sin?

With its ruminations on human nature and atmospheric prose, A Hill Station's Vintage Murders and other Stories brings together some of Ruskin Bond's best crime writing that delves into these questions. Immerse yourself in his vivid descriptions of crime scenes set in a locale most familiar to him-the hills-and explore with him what happens when people get pushed over the edge.
