Congratulations to Dave White, whose story "Runaway" in Protectors: Stories to Benefit PROTECT was noted as a distinguished mystery story of 2012 in the latest volume of The Best American Mystery Stories, edited by Lisa Scottoline and Otto Penzler.
"Runaway" is a gripping and heartfelt crime story about a basketball coach in Jersey City trying to help a young athlete stay out of trouble, but as Jerseyans know, sometimes trouble finds you. Dave was eager to be part of the anthology I'm proud to have edited him. If you don't know his other work, he is the author of the thriller Witness to Death and the Jackson Donne crime novels.
