"Penzler takes what is arguably the best part of crime and mystery
novels--the villains--and packs them into an encyclopedic anthology
that manages to cover both Dracula and Dr. Fu Manchu. To be read
through a monocle and with a sinister sneer." --The New York Times
Book Review
"Rogues and Villains is a treasure chest of delightful
discoveries." --The Seattle Times
"The Big Book of Rogues and Villains is stalked by a cast of
the deviant crooks, creeps, criminals and con men." --Los Angeles
Times
