Not relevant to the CWA awards, alas, but a Story ID request from a librarian on the Fiction-L list:
ReplyDeleteI am humbly beseeching the collective brain to find the title of an old
short story.
The patron is sure it was in either Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine or
Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine (both monthlies) and most likely published
during the 1970's or 1980's, as that's when she had a subscription to both.
The author may or may not have been Edward D. Hoch, who was VERY prolific,
with over 900 short stories to his name.
The story involved an elderly/retired man being harassed by neighborhood
toughs, who show no respect for him or his hobby of model planes. He
exacts revenge on his harassers by using a radio-controlled kamikazee plane
to knock the gang leader off his motorcycle.
My thanks in advance to anyone able to point me in the right direction.
