But once the murder is accomplished, the killer's difficulties are only beginning. What is he to do with the body? To the everlasting credit of human ingenuity there are a number of things he can do. And although disposing of the body is considerably more difficult than killing a man, the rewards are correspondingly greater. What those difficulties are Basil Davenport has revealed in teh stories in this collection--fresh, ingenious and occasionally grisly stories--by Stanley Ellin, John Collier, Robert Graves, Dorothy Sayers, Philip MacDonald, Lord Dunsany, G.K. Chesterton and others." #01718.
