<DIV><DIV><b>An incredible assortment of stories from one of history&rsquo;s masters of short fiction</b></div><DIV><BR>On the morning of the merger, fog shrouds the offices of Jupiter Steel. On the twenty-first floor, the board of directors gathers to follow the commands of Billy Calm, an unequaled titan of finance. But a few minutes before the meeting, Calm jumps out a window. The chief of security rushes to the street, but where there should be a body, he sees only slush; Billy Calm has vanished into the fog.</div><DIV><BR>&ldquo;The Long Way Down&rdquo; is a classic Edward D. Hoch story&mdash;elegantly baffling, with prose that will please even the most hard-boiled fans. But this collection contains much more than puzzles. Here are the odds and ends of Hoch&rsquo;s early work, covering espionage, boxing, and every shade of noir&mdash;as beautiful as the fog, and as chilling as the first step off the ledge. &#160;</div><DIV></div></div>
