「カーティス・コルトはあの酒屋の女を殺していない。それが真実よ。彼が青い光にまたがる―つまり、電気椅子で死刑になる―のは、間違っているわ。カーティスはこの事件に関っていないし、私はそれを証明できるわ」 だが、カーティスの恋人はそれを証明できるのだろうか。殺人事件が起こったことは事実であり、かれが死刑にならなければ、誰がなるのか。ダシール・ハメット、パトリシア・ハイスミス、ナンシー・ピカード作の7編の短編小説は、あなたを釘づけにするだろう。

Curtis Colt didn't kill that liquor store woman, and that's a fact. It's not right that he should have to ride the lightning - that's what prisoners call dying in the electric chair. Curtis doesn't belong in it, and I can prove it.' But can Curtis's girlfriend prove it? Murder has undoubtedly been done, and if Curtis doesn't ride the lightning for it, then who will? These seven short stories, by well-known writers such as Dashiel Hammett, Patricia Highsmith, and Nancy Pickard, will keep you on the edge of your seat.
