A cop and a femme fatale walk into a diner... (Note: "Nighthawks" is a short story. It is also available in the author's 10-story collection, Daggyland #1.) * * * This short story first appeared in Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine. Two men, a woman, and young soda jerk find themselves alone in a New York City diner in the wee hours of the night. Why are they there? What are they saying? What are they doing? The artist Edward Hopper first painted this scene in 1941. Now comes a story that imagines what really happened on that fateful night. * * * “D’Agnese writes the most unusual and interesting books.”—Bookviews
