The contemporary female private eye story began in 1977 when Edgar-nominee Marcia Muller published Edwin of the Iron Shoes, about Sharon McCone, investigator for the All Souls legal co-op. Sharon is a humane and sympathetic sleuth who makes a difference to her clients and to the world around her. The McCone Files contains the 13 previously uncollected short stories about McCone, including the Shamus Award winning "Final Resting Place", as well as two written specially for this volume.
