Stopover and Other Stories for a Rainy Night

A private detective is on a personal errand of revenge when he makes the mistake of stopping at an abandoned diner; Arnold Knight is sure he's spotted a crime in the neighborhood through binoculars, to the annoyance of his sister and the police; two men are stuck in an elevator and one decides to tell a scary story, too convincingly; a new warden uses a Tarot card to uncover a woman's escape from a foolproof cell . . .

Mystery short stories--from detective and police procedural to the cozy amateur sleuth--come to life in the pages of this delightful collection.
