Nine enthralling short crime and mystery fiction stories from talented husband-and-wife duo Max Allan Collins and Barbara Collins.

This entertaining collection ranges from a late-night craving which drives a pregnant private eye out to a convenience store and into a hostage situation to a womanizing senator who tries to replace his dead mistress with a lookalike and a cat with an accusing gaze.

Each tale features the twist ending that fans will relish, while also being a little old-fashioned.

"Boasts a plot twist that Hitchcock or even Rod Serling fans will savor. Recommend this highly to all fans of mystery short fiction." - Booklist
