Night Freight (Bill Pronzini) читать бесплатно онлайн полную версию книги (ч. 11)

"Night Freight," which originally saw print in Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine in early 1967, was my second published story. (The first, "You Don't Know What It's Like," a shameless Hemingway pastiche, appeared in Shell Scott Mystery Magazine for November of 1966.) I revised it slightly several years ago for its publication in an anthology, but it still has a number of youthful flaws. I debated rewriting it for its inclusion here, finally decided against it. In a curious way the rough edges add to rather than detract from its nightmarish effect.
