Touched, St. Peter asks the man to name three wishes.

In the twist at the end, Pobreza finds himself barred from both heaven and hell.

The Couple Next Door: Collected Short Mysteries
by: Millar, Margaret

Softcover. Norfolk VA, Crippen & Landru Publishers, 1st, 2004, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 249 pages. Best-known for her novels, Margaret Millar also wrote a handful of short stories, tales much admired by peers (including her husband Kenneth Millar, who used the pseudonym Ross Macdonald) but never collected in book form. Now Macdonald's biographer Tom Nolan has gathered and introduced those stories in this volume, which includes two all-but-unknown novellas from the 1940s. Here are half-a-dozen exhibits in evidence of the case made by English author and critic H.R.F. Keating, who judged: "No woman in twentieth-century American mystery writing is more important than Margaret Millar." Clean copy.
