Crippen & Landru present the 15th collection by Edward D. Hoch

Fifteen and Counting!

The Case of the Flying Graveyard, a collection of Ed Hoch’s Interpol stories, is also the fifteenth Crippen & Landru publication of his stories. Just as we have collected many of Hoch’s favorite and cleverest tales, the stories here are ingenious, such as the titular story of a plane full of people who die prior to a crash.

From Dr. Sam to Ben Snow to Nick Velvet to Captain Leopold to Alexander Swift and many others, these books have entertained readers throughout our years. This collection is guaranteed to do the same.

In this volume, we’ve included all the stories featuring Sebastian Blue and Laura Charme, two members of Interpol. The pair chase killers and other criminals around the world. Just like the locked rooms and impossible crimes seen so often in Hoch’s works.

We’re far from done with Hoch’s multitude of stories. We’re already working on the next book, which should be available soon.

Stories seemed outlandish yet routine - and "twists" were predictable (a first for me with Hoch stories)

I am truly amazed by the intricacy of this series. You might say this series just came "out of the Blue " for me and Laura certainly does have much Charme as his more than competent partner.These Interpol cases have more lurking beneath th surface than a standard, plodding police procedural.The settings can be exotic and reveal startling facts about human nature, that may seem radical for the times. A startling example is "The Case of the Lapidated Man". I don't know why but when I try and imagine Sebastian Blue, I find him resembling the late Sir Anthony Quayle in my mind and Laura Charme could easily pass for Cinnamon from Mission Impossible. This is a couple equipped with both savvy and inspiring intuition. Sorry these stories were the only ones written.
