The Night My Friend: Stories of Crime and Suspense

The Night My Friend: Stories of Crime and Suspense

An incredible assortment of stories from one of historyâ€™s masters of short fiction

On the morning of the merger, fog shrouds the offices of Jupiter Steel. On the twenty-first floor, the board of directors gathers to follow the commands of Billy Calm, an unequaled titan of finance. But a few minutes before the meeting, Calm jumps out a window. The chief of security rushes to the street, but where there should be a body, he sees only slush; Billy Calm has vanished into the fog.

â€œThe Long Way Downâ€ is a classic Edward D. Hoch storyâ€”elegantly baffling, with prose that will please even the most hard-boiled fans. But this collection contains much more than puzzles. Here are the odds and ends of Hochâ€™s early work, covering espionage, boxing, and every shade of noirâ€”as beautiful as the fog, and as chilling as the first step off the ledge. Â
