**Short stories of sophistication and psychological suspense, including an O. Henry Award winner.**

In the wake of the First World War, a young woman watches the sky for a pilot who didn't come home. A wealthy bachelor becomes increasingly obsessed with a beautiful stranger at a Manhattan restaurant. A nervous wife awaits a fateful phone call on a stormy November night.

These stories and five more showcase the literary skill of Frances Noyes Hart, author of *The Crooked Lane* and *The Bellamy Trial* , and one of the great literary talents of the early twentieth century.
