Special thanks to Michael E. Grost, who put a virtual encyclopedia of classic Mystery Detective fiction on the Web. Many of the authors listed below are found on the Web primarily though his entries, which I have marked as "@ MGrost". Many others are members of Mystery Writers of America which, oddly enough, did not have a Home Page until after this "Ultimate" one.
