Originally chosen from hundreds of submissions to be included in the Michael Connelly edited anthology The Blue Religion, Paul Guyot's short story What A Wonderful World unravels at breakneck pace amid the dark, rainy streets of St. Louis. Jim Dandridge has been a St. Louis homicide cop for a long time. Maybe too long. He's worked so many cases and seen so much darkness in the world that he's lost the capacity for hope… until a brief encounter with Kayla Lightfoot, a young girl working a hotdog cart on the city streets, restores it. But when Dandridge takes on his latest case, it could send him over the edge for good.
