Wie man auf elegante Weise aus Leuten Leichen macht – das erzählt keiner raffinierter und mit mehr Witz als er. Hier sind sie, die besten Krimigeschichten des einmaligen Henry Slesar, der selbst hartgesottene Männer das Gruseln lehrt. Geschichten, wie sie das Leben nie ganz hinkriegt, augenzwinkernd erzählt von einem »friedfertigen Mann mit ungewöhnlicher krimineller Begabung – natürlich nur auf literarischem Gebiet« (Alfred Hitchcock) – böse, bissig und immer wieder verblüffend, denn: »Bei den Kurzkrimis von Henry Slesar ist nur eins sicher: Sie gehen ganz anders aus, als man denkt« (Reinhard Hillich/Deutschlandradio Kultur, Berlin).
