short story

History

First publication: Hunted, October 1956

Review

Not the last published of the stories, but it was the final story in The Deadly Streets collection. It seems fitting that this should wrap up that book. The story makes the point that the assassin’s love of murder and violence does not help him in the end. One of the best stories in this group so far.
