Beginning in 1982, The Adam's Round Table— a group of America's most talented and successful mystery writers— convened every month in New York to discuss their craft. When agent and author Bill Adler suggested they each write a short story located in a different section of Manhattan, their enthusiastic response resulted in Murder in Manhattan. This quartet of short stories featuring a suspenseful cast of characters and plots set in the world's greatest city includes:
" Lucky Day" by Mary Higgins Clark, performed by Betsy Palmer
• " Vaudeville" by Whitley Strieber, performed by Roddy McDowell
• " Till Death Do Us Part" by Dorothy Salisbury Davis, performed by Juliet Mills
• " Directed Verdict" by Thomas Chastain, performed by Peter Graves
