Attractions : meurtres

by Robert Edmond Alter

Le couteau dans sa poitrine ressemble à ceux que mon ex-femme utilisait dans son numéro de lanceuse de couteaux. Mais c'était il y a longtemps. Bien avant qu'elle épouse le propriétaire de cette fête foraine... Le propriétaire est d'ailleurs présent. C'est de son cadavre que dépasse le couteau. Attractions meurtres est un hommage à Fredric Brown et Robert Louis Stevenson.

About the author

Robert Edmond Alter is remembered chiefly for two novels, paperback originals from the 1960s: "Swamp Sister" (1961) and "Carny Kill" (1966). He also wrote children's novels and sold stories to some of the top magazines of his day, including the "Saturday Evening Post" and "Argosy". Alter died suddenly at the age of 40 (some sources state it was Cancer). Some of his later works were published for the first time many years after his death. He was survived by his wife, Maxine and his daughter Sand.
