The Union Club Mysteries is a collection of mystery short stories by American author Isaac Asimov featuring his fictional mystery solver Griswold. It was first published in hardcover by Doubleday in 1983 and in paperback by the Fawcett Crest imprint of Ballantine Books in 1985.
The book collects thirty stories by Asimov, originally printed in Gallery magazine, together with a foreword and afterword by the author. Each story is set at a club known as the Union Club, in which a conversation between three members prompts a fourth member, Griswold, to tell about a mystery he has solved. These are often tall stories, and often based on his time in US intelligence. The format is based on that utilized by P. G. Wodehouse in recounting his golf stories.
Asimov wrote a total of 56 Union Club stories. As well as the 30 in this book, three more[1] were collected in The Best Mysteries of Isaac Asimov (Doubleday, 1986). 22 additional stories have been published in various magazines and an anthology, but have never been collected in any of Asimov's books. One of these 22, "Getting Even," is also part of Asimov's Azazel series of fantasy stories. One Union Club story, "Dumb Luck," remains unpublished.[2]
