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. A perfectly placed last line of a short story can pull together subtle plot threads into a devastating dénouement or give everything that came before it a brand-new meaning, sometimes even reshaping the story entirely for the reader.

Hensley, Edward D. Hoch, John Lutz, John D. MacDonald, and Donald E. Westlake.
