Alfred Hitchcock's Death-Mate - Alfred Hitchcock

Endgames

Alfred Hitchcock loves the murder game because it offers such an infinite possibility of moves. A drop of arsenic in coffee, a silken noose around the neck, a sharpened knife in the back, a bullet in the brain, are just a few of the classic ploys -- and there is always somebody to come up with a fascinating new variation. Now Alfie has set up his chessboard of evil, and turned his grandest masters of the macabre loose to do their bloodcurdling best -- in novelettes and stories by such fiendish favorites as:

The Human Fly by Syd Hoff
Two Bits' Worth of Luck by Fletcher Flora (novelette)
