Introduction

This is the second in this series of anthologies of stories from Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. And starting with this anthology, the even-numbered volumes in the series will consist of stories the editors of AHMM believe to be the best published in the magazine the previous year.

In these pages, then, you will find the most dastardly of plots, the wittiest of contrivances, the most suspicious of circumstances, the strangest of fiction, and the direst of schemes concocted by the contributors to AHMM in 1976. Twenty-nine tales in all, and each of them calculated to leave you breathless — the total collection rife with the rogues and roguishness you've come to expect from Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine.
