This classic collection of Collier's short fiction is finally available at the Kindle store. Worth the price of admission just for the closing line of the story "Over Insurance." Damon Knight once called "The Touch of Nutmeg Makes It" one of the finest short murder mysteries ever written. The Sondheim musical "Evening Primrose" was based on one of the stories in this collection. Tales from this book were adapted for the Alfred Hitchcock tv series and Twilight Zone. You don't want to miss this one; don't take my word for it -- in his intro to the NYRB paperback edition of this book (unfortunately not in the Kindle edition) Ray Bradbury said of Collier: "I can name no other writer in the twentieth century whose work has given me such constant pleasure."
