In Suspense #153, “Murder for Myra,” Ernie Cobb falls under the spell of the alluring and volatile Myra Blair, a housewife trapped in a loveless marriage. When she confides her dreams of freedom—and hints that murder is the only escape—Ernie finds himself lured into a dark and deadly plot. As a plan to kill her husband unfolds with chilling precision, Ernie’s moral resistance crumbles. But in the shadowy world of deceit and obsession, nothing is quite as it seems. A grim twist seals the tale in this taut psychological noir.
