内容简介


The master of suspense presents 47 spine-tingling tales of murder most foul, taken from the annals of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. Profit, revenge, or assassination: whatever the motive, these stories feature all the twists, turns, and terror mystery lovers long for. Meet the acrostic puzzle maker who foretells the fate of her enemies, the chess player who makes some unusual moves against his opponents, and the lifeguard who wants to save only the "worthy." See what happens to the mother-daughter team on the prowl for rich husbands, and the gangland mediator who makes sure his decisions are final...very final. So, prepare yourself for a harrowing lesson in the deadliest of crimes...and blood-curdling chills in the grand Hitchcock tradition.

作者简介


阿尔弗莱德·希区柯克(1899-1980),是举世公认的"悬念大师"。他生于伦敦,1925年开始独立执导电影。1939年应邀去好莱坞,次年拍摄了《蝴蝶梦》,并获得该年度奥斯卡最佳影片金像奖,从此定居美国直到逝世。为了表彰他对电影艺术作出的突出贡献,1979年,美国电影艺术与科学学院授予他终身成就奖。1980年,英国女王伊丽莎白二世封他为爵士。

希区柯克是一位对人类精神世界高度关怀的艺术家,他一生导演监制759部电影,300多部电视系列剧,绝大多数以人的紧张、焦虑、窥探、恐惧等为叙事主题,设置悬念,故事情节惊险曲折,引人人胜,令人拍案叫绝。
