In “Christopher and Maggie,” based on Davis’s own experiences during the Great Depression, a traveling magician stumbles upon a murder victim. The Manhattan gossip columnist and part-time sleuth Julie Hayes from *A Death in The Life* appears in two stories, “The Puppet” and “Justina.” In other stories, a woman picks up the wrong hitchhiker, an ex-detective decides to make some money by getting rid of his wife—forever—and a man gets involved in a road accident from which he simply cannot drive away.
