時間靜止在黑暗的稜線上我們站立於花開的一側想像死亡是樹，想像一個沒有困惑沒有孤獨的午後靜靜分食彼此的血肉靜靜共舞〈後窗〉（Rear Window）─攝影師意外因腿傷而足不出戶，閑來無事透過後窗觀察鄰居們。某天，看到對窗的推銷員夫婦發生爭執，當晚發現鄰居先生數度冒雨走出家門，隔日發現更多異常舉止，鄰居太太也從她卧病甚久的床上消失了……一切都令傑弗瑞不安。〈謀殺案後的早晨〉（Morning After Murder）─劇情轉折在，偵探究竟如何與謀殺有所關聯─僅僅作為一名調查者，又或涉及更險惡的事件。令人不安的自我猜疑，讓讀者不斷質疑經典的「是或否」問題─即他是否參與其中。〈兩宗謀殺，一樁罪案〉（Two Murders, One Crime）─故事第一部分描述一名無辜者，如何被誣告謀殺而被處決。凸顯了警察的無能─完全聽信目擊者的言詞。無辜者遭到處決之後，故事隨即轉向：警方發現了真正的兇手，卻無從起訴他，因為這意味著他們必須承認，自己誤會無辜者而使他慘遭處死的過失……這篇故事中，一窺法律體系與人心的執著癡念，也見證機遇是如何決定一個人的生死。〈墳墓般死寂〉（Silent as the Grave）─男人向妻子坦承，曾在過去殺害他人，妻子答應保守秘密。但當男子的前上司死於非命，妻子便被丈夫是否涉及其中的問題折磨著，直到她決定深入探索，又陷入更深的懷疑中。〈瘋狂之屋〉（Crazy House）─一名土木工程師被誣陷，在一間老屋子裡謀殺了女子，他必須回到案發現場找出兇手，才能證明清白。然而，自他在那晚逃離後，屋子就被重新布置過，而他也必須在黑暗中探索陌生的大廳，並以機智勝取真正的罪魁禍首。〈紐約藍調〉（New York Blues）─一名男子獨坐黑暗的房間裡，懷疑自己殺了心愛的女人，而受內心責難與折磨，並等待「死亡」前來取走他的性命。他將真正的自我攤開來審視，而失憶、妄想、恐懼與焦慮也隨之淹沒他。★電影史巨擘、緊張大師―希區考克（Alfred Hitchcock）經典改編原著★ [ fps ]書系：導演與小說家的跨文本經典對話，精彩第二彈★康乃爾．伍立奇為黑色小說先鋒，其作品備受推理大師級作家雷蒙．錢德勒（Raymond Chandler）、艾勒里．昆恩（Ellery Queen）與日本推理小說之父江戶川亂步（Edogawa Ranpo）高度推崇；犯罪小說家勞倫斯．卜洛克（Law
