For James, that stranger is awakened when his wife, Arlette, proposes selling off the family homestead and moving to Omaha, setting in motion a gruesome train of murder and madness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \"Big Driver,\" a cozy-mystery writer named Tess encounters the stranger along a back road in Massachusetts when she takes a shortcut home after a book-club engagement. Violated and left for dead, Tess plots a revenge that will bring her face-to-face with another stranger: the one inside herself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Fair Extension,\" the shortest of these tales, is perhaps the nastiest and certainly the funniest.

Her toe knocks up against a box under a worktable and she discovers the stranger inside her husband.
