The master of suspense presents 47 spine-tingling tales of murder most foul, taken from the annals of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. Profit, revenge, or whatever the motive, these stories feature all the twists, turns, and terror mystery lovers long for. Meet the acrostic puzzle maker who foretells the fate of her enemies, the chess player who makes some unusual moves against his opponents, and the lifeguard who wants to save only the "worthy." See what happens to the mother-daughter team on the prowl for rich husbands, and the gangland mediator who makes sure his decisions are final... very final. So, prepare yourself for a harrowing lesson in the deadliest of crimes...and blood-curdling chills in the grand Hitchcock tradition.
