Short stories, only one of which is a true detective story (The Jealousy Man). A couple are futuristic and quite bleak, though the future-based elements did not really gel for me. One story relies on alternate universes to drive the plot. Settings include Greece and Italy as well as Norway (one takes place completely on a trans-Atlantic flight). If you were to read only two stories in this book, I would recommend The Jealousy Man and Black Knight.
