It Was a Dark and Stormy Night, Dontcha Know

Michael Allan Mallory

Crime and murder flourish under the cover of darkness and stormy weather. Bad weather seems to bring out the worst in some people. Edward Bulwer-Lytton's oft-mocked opening sentence sets the stage for eighteen delightful tales of mischief, mayhem, and misadventure in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
