(Continued from front flap) often sadly learn, however, that nothing zodiacal can be taken too lightly. Indeed, the simple question "What's your sign?" may prove to be a matter of life or death. From Peter Tremayne's "The Astrologer Who Predicted His Own Murder," which begins this masterfully cast excursion into life on the cusp and death by astrology, through Brendan DuBois's "The Aquarius Mission" and Marcia Talley's "To Catch a Fish" to the final chilling tale, "The Blue Scorpion" by Anne Perry, the sixteen originál stories in this collection explore murderous portents and deadly reckonings that lie in the astral pláne and wreak havoc in the humán heart. Anne Perry, winner of the Edgár Allan Poe Award from the Mystery Writers of America, is the author of more than thirty mystery novels set in Victorian England and the novella A Disb Taken Cold, published by Carroll & Graf. She lives in Scotland. Vissza
