In Suspense #219, “The One Who Got Away,” Hume Cronyn stars as James Carroll, a weary bank auditor trapped in a soul-crushing marriage. Desperate for freedom, he crafts a perfect murder plot—backed by the coerced alibi of a compromised colleague. But when the plan succeeds and justice seems thwarted, fate has one more twist in store. A chilling portrait of psychological manipulation and poetic justice.
