>> **It was the scream of a man in the extremest agony of pain and terror. His eyes still stared into the soldier's face, but the fury had left them like a flame suddenly extinguished.** >These stories are a macabre celebration of the ingenuity of murder. Victims meet their ends in ways which are sometimes gruesome, sometimes tragic, but always imaginative. In some cases the murderer makes a critical slip, allowing a sufficiently cunning detective to solve the crime, but in at least one the perpetrator succeeds in committing the perfect murder... a chilling but curiously admirable act, which has a breathtaking subtlety in its execution.
