The biggest mystery in The Best American Mystery Stories 2007 (Houghton Mifflin), edited by the never fainthearted Carl Hiaasen, is how to catch your breath after reading Chris Adrian's "Stab" a terrifying window on childhood grief and rage. Among the other standouts: Louise Erdrich's "Gleason," about a kidnapping and a marriage gone horribly, ludicrously awry.
