What is Murderers I Have Known: And Other Stories about?

"In 'Natural Limits', a bereaved woman, contemplating the massacre of 11,000 virgins, comes to terms with the unimaginable. The title story and 'Canary' search for signs of evil or innocence written on the body, and a 'canary' dies of toxic malice, while in 'Daughters of the Game' and 'The Armour of Santo Zenobio' body doubles stand in for saints and film stars. Beneath a charismatic or saintly carapace there often turns out to be a man of straw. The 'insomniac princess' finds that unheard melodies are indeed sweeter; whereas other stories give voice to the traditionally voiceless - the artist's model, the film double, and, in a grisly reworking of the Brothers Grimm, a girl with bells not on her toes but on her hands."--BOOK JACKET
