The Venetian Vase

This site began life as a supporting site for two books: 100 American Crime Writers and 100 British Crime Writers. These books are co edited by Chris Routledge and Esme Miskimmin and will be published by Palgrave Macmillan in their Crime Files series. When I was contacted by Steven Powell, who is one of the writers on the book projects, asking if he could contribute to the original site it quickly became clear that we would have to do something different. The blog will be edited and maintained primarily by Steven and me. So here is The Venetian Vase.
