Alfred Hitchcock made the novel famous with his film, and now it is being published for the first time as a book in a German translation by Miriam Mandelkow: "Always Trouble with Harry." Abie is four years old, and the forest of Sparrowswick Heath is his hunting ground, where one late summer day he discovers a man after hearing a loud bang: "The man was lying on his back, and Abie almost stepped on him. A large man with a mustache and wavy hair. He lay there, staring at the sky and not moving. Blood was seeping from his head." The man named Harry is dead. Jack Trevor Story tells the tale of Harry and his four murderers in a laconic style filled with dark humor.
