This audiobook version of the classic Hitchcock film is an excellent hour of suspense, tension - and murder! Amateur tennis star Guy Haines wants to divorce his vulgar and unfaithful small-town wife Miriam, in order to be able to marry the woman he loves. But Miriam does not want the divorce, and instead plans to live off Haines's money. Whilst on a train to meet Miriam, Haines meets the charming, rich, clever, but psychopathic Bruno Anthony who recognizes Guy and knows something of his marital problems from gossip items in the newspapers. Bruno proceeds to tell Guy about his idea for a perfect murder. He will kill Miriam, and in exchange Guy will kill Bruno's father. Since both are strangers, nobody will suspect them of the crime. Guy leaves the compartment, but with Bruno thinking he had agreed to the deal... Bruno soon heads to Guy's hometown and murders Miriam at a fair. Suspicion immediately falls on Guy however, because he had an obvious motive - and is unable to provide a solid alibi for the time of the crime. Bruno starts making increasingly more intrusive appearances in Guy's life, in order to forcibly remind Guy that he is now obliged to kill Bruno's father, according to the bargain that was supposedly struck on the train when they first met...
