Summary	Six of P. D. James's short stories are published here together for the first time. As the six murderous tales unfold, the dark motive of revenge is revealed at the heart of each. The punishments inflicted on the guilty are fittingly severe, but here they are meted out by the unseen forces of natural justice rather than the institutions of the law.
