title: Challenge The Widow-Maker And Other Stories Of People In Peril
author:  Clark Howard 
description: <b>Penzler Pick, <a href="/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/67658/${0}">September 2000</a>:</b> A collection of Clark Howard's tales in a book of his own was long overdue. Having seen his first story published in the classic men's magazine, <i>Stag</i>, in 1956, Howard has since become a classic--and classy--crime-writing author. Frequently anthologized, Howard has also regularly been honored by the Mystery Writers of America (with seven nominations and one Edgar) and by the Private Eye Writers of America. As a frequent contributor to <i>Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine</i>, he recently set a record when he scored his fifth annual Readers Award from that influential magazine.
