This Broadway hit mystery drama by Frederick Knott is a masterfully constructed thriller moving from one moment of suspense to another as it builds toward an electrifying, breath-stopping final scene. A sinister con man, Roat, and two ex-convicts are about to meet their match. They have traced the location of a mysterious doll to the Greenwich Village apartment of Sam Hendrix and his blind wife, Susy. The con man and his ex-convicts convince Susy that the policehave implicated Sam in a murder, and the doll, which she believes is the key to his innocence, is evidence. When Roat kills his associates, a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues between the two. And when darkness falls, Susy turns out all the lights leaving them both in the dark to play by her rules.
