Crime Hits Home: A Collection of Stories from Crime Fiction's Top Authors

by S. J. Rozan · 2022

When the sanctuary of home is shattered by crime, the fallout is personal, intimate, and often terrifying. *Crime Hits Home* gathers a powerhouse lineup of today’s leading mystery writers—Ellen Hart, Naomi Hirahara, Walter Mosley, Sara Paretsky, and many more—to explore what happens when danger slips through the front door. Each story defines “home” in its own way—a place, a community, a feeling—then pits it against a crime that erupts from within or without, forcing characters to confront betrayal, loss, and the fragile boundaries of safety. From gritty urban investigations to quiet suburban secrets, the anthology offers a kaleidoscope of perspectives that illuminate how the familiar can become a battlefield. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the genre or a newcomer seeking suspense that hits close to the heart, this collection delivers gripping, emotionally resonant tales that prove crime truly does hit home.
