Orion Millennium's "Crime Masterworks Books"The Crime Masterworks is a series of books published by Orion Millennium which attempts to re-print classic Crime books. Whenever possible I’ve added the Crime Masterworks edition to this list, but since they’re not all listed on allconsuming this was not always possible. The list isn’t pretty, but it does serve its purpose of providing a checklist for a great reading list. Finding a definitive list of the SF & Fantasy Masterworks was quite easy, but the Crime Masterworks are rather more ellusive – feel free to contribute a source if you know of a definitive list. |
