Face in the Target (story one) I was expecting a novel--basis for Hitchcock movie. Instead it's a collection of stories with Fisher--the man who knows too much--as a a laconic, ironic, detective. His buddy March (reporter) is along for the first one.
March, reporter, comes upon Fisher, laconic upper crust Englishman who is . . . fishing. A car comes flying over a nearby cliff as they talk. Accident? Suicide? March follows along as Fisher, through keen observation, deduces that it is a murder and also comes up with the murderer. Pretense and reality, nicely done. Fisher decides, in the end, not to have murderer arrested. Very enjoyable
