30 CRIME AND MYSTERY STORIES GOOD TO THE LAST LINE
The McGuffin has long been a staple tool in any crime and mystery writer's arsenal.

Hensley, Edward D. Hoch, John Lutz, John D. MacDonald, and Donald E. Westlake. They, along with 24 more authors, have created some of the very best mystery stories that often save their best twists for the very last line...
