Tony Wendice, a former tennis star, married his wife Margot for her money. Now he plans to murder for the same reason, compounded by jealousy over her affair with Max Halliday, a crime writer.
Tony believes he has planned the perfect crime, but then things start to go wrong, until Tony finds a way to get control of the situation again—or does he? This psychological thriller unravels an elegant mystery.

Originally written for the British Broadcasting Corp.'s Sunday Night Theatre, Dial "M" for Murder was first presented on the stage by James P. Sherwood at the Westminster Theatre, London on June 19, 1952. On October 29, 1952, the play premiered on Broadway at the Plymouth Theatre. It had a successful Broadway run and many productions since then (including at Domino Theatre in 1995). A 1954 film adaptation, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, starred Ray Milland and Grace Kelly.
