A Twist In The Tale: Twelve Short Stories By Jeffrey Archer

A man decides to visit his mistress. But on arrival, he sees her embracing another man. He waits for the interloper to leave, then goes in, starts an argument with the woman, strikes her and it results in her death. Having left the flat without being seen, he tips off the police about the interloper, who is charged. Has he achieved The Perfect Murder?
