EQMM has always depended heavily on series characters and stories, such as the "Black Widowers" tales of Isaac Asimov, the "Rumpole of the Bailey" stories of John Mortimer, or the "Ganelon" stories of James Powell.
These six stories are preceded by an introduction by Harlan Ellison, nine stories selected by the editor as the best from the previous Black Widowers collections, and a homage by William Brittain.
