Edward D. Hoch is not really considered a noir writer in the truest sense, but if you look at the stories in the early part of his career, they certainly qualify as noir. Three stories for the price of one from the early writing career of the Mystery Writer Grand Master. Three stories published for the first time since the 1950s.
Layout for Murder — I watched from my car as they loved it up. She was one doll I couldn’t scratch from my list of suspects.
Lovely Lady of Lust — She was a well-wrapped package. But cold as ice, guarding a terrible secret.
Drive My Hearst, Darling! — I felt her warm body cuddling close to me and I forgot the lump of lard slumped in the rear seat.
